Slinsky and the USP do more harm to us hunters that oppose this DMP than anything else. Just about the time that it looks like we may have the ear of some of the players, they come along and screw everything up. I wish they and their egos would go away forever.
It was 50,000.
Thanks Spurs, I screwed up on the number. 50,000 or 15,000 it was a totally ridiculous number and that was the point. Thanks for correcting it though.
I also agree with your assessment of The Slink and USP. Their crowd started their bellowing way back with the first bonus tag and predicted an impending doom in the 80's. It has probably contributed to the deaf ears approach. when legitimate concerns did pop up.
Over reaction on either side of an issue does no one any good.
Maybe the "decline to 50,000 deer" claim belongs in the same category as the "more and bigger bucks" claim
