Having read it thouroughly since, its wide open to interpretation and alot of differing conclusions can be drawn. And some things that were stated could be taken more ways than one. Wont even being to try and summarize the 202 pages but look forward to conversation on the details.
A couple things i notice, While they did ok the wmu size, they didnt rule out smaller ones. They simply stated larger in this case was an "acceptable alternative". There are also other things they didnt really address, and other things still that they were pretty critical of, such as the regeneration study, the deer reproductive data (both found to be very lacking) and also critical of sak, in the exact manner in which pgc is using it.
They condemned the cac process basically, saying that they could continue on perhaps a limited basis, say on a statewide level maybe, but would be more effective to implement surveys, or use surveys in conjunction with statewide cacs.
I'll be interested to hear some opinions given by sporting groups, legislators, and others once theyve had time to analyze it thoroughly.
I give you a hardy thumbs up for going back and re-evaluting you'll original point.We all jump to conclusions at times.Being able to admit gains my respect.
I also originally thought it may be something that had the potential to be biased too much towards the PGC,which would ruin any credability.I read through it once and plan on reading it a second time to get a thorough opinion.Overall,I think it was pretty fair.Just the fact that that hammered the PGC because they refused to release pop estimates made me feel that they were unbiased.They were also very critical of the way the PGC handled public relation issues.Like I said,I generally agree with the PGC on most issues but always felt that sucked at that.Glad to see it was pointed out.
