Btb, that depends on your definition of extremist is i guess. Like i said there are alot of conservation groups who've taken position in support of the dmp. I also must admit, i know some things about the organization, but havent studied up on them in depth as i have with audubon etc.

They support the deer plan, which i wouldnt necessarily automatically give that label for that alone. On the other hand, from what i think i know of them, they're nowhere near as rabid or influential as audubon has been. If we are speaking of extreme in regards to views on deer mangement, then yes, id say most of those nonhunting related conservation groups would qualify. Some probably are so extreme minded as theyve simply bought what pgc and their new green agenda are selling. Others just followed audubon or other fellow conservation groups lead.

Btw, if not for the interference in game management, i have absolutely no problem with alot of what these groups do. Im sure you were just salivating at the chance to tell me how much land the wpa conservancy has provided. No need though, because I know all about it and it hasnt got one thing to do with my beliefs in these type groups role in our deer management.

Same can be said of the more damaging group audubon. They do good things for birds and even some of the nongame wildlife. But again, its hard to praise them for it, considering how extreme many of their views are, and the effects of those views on our sport. And as a hunter I will not look past it.
