I kinda like having slinsky around myself. Hes entertaining. Dont know if its the colorful commentary I get a kick out of, or if its the fire it lights under hpa pgc supporter britches. lol
Most Pa hunters (present company excluded of course)arent overly knowledgable about exacting details because they just dont care to be politically aware, and if it takes a good show on the part of a "colorful" lol speaker to get ANY of them to take action and call legislators etc...More power to em. You have pgc and dcnr spending millions of our hunter & taxpayer dollars to lie to the people to support the sham program.... We have Jimmy.
I'll give credit for the lawsuit, as its a "good" thing imho even though it probably has no chance. Its still applying pressure and helps to highlight how extreme things here have become. I also can appreciate the fact they are against the deer plan and can reach alot more people than most others individually.
Though id agree, there have been some real blunders imho. Among them, being a bit overly colorful from time to time, agreeing to not call wmi imho was a huge mess up, The way some questions had been addressed at senate hearings left alot to be desired...
Btw, in all fairness, alot of the JS ill advised comments were stretched into false allegations on hpa because of their downright hatred because of the threatened lawsuits and being overly vocal against the dmp. The 50,000 comment was but one example. He stated awhile back that if the current herd rate of decrease continued....That by year "2000 whatever" it would be down to 50,000. And that wouldve been a true statement if not taken literally, but considered using the rate of decline for that year....
Example "John" gained 100 pounds this past year. At that rate in 10 years he'll gain over a 1000!" Noones saying john IS actually going to gain a thousand pounds....just pointing out the ridiculously high rate of gain.
I could be mistaken, but from what i read i believe it said or implied nothing that the rate could or would stay the same, or that we'd ever have actually 50,000 deer. Then again that wasnt the first or last attempt to discredit anyone and everyone against the dmp on hpa.
Thing is, he shouldnt say things that can be so easily twisted. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Dont leave room for twisting interpretation.
