Flawed as our system may be, it'd be far worse if politicians gain any more influence on it.
BT. quit trying to spin #'s! What % of their electorate do you think actually care about the deer wars at all?
For example we have 13 million residents in PA. and I promise you less than 15% of us even think about the whitetail deer unless they happen to be driving down the road and see one feeding in a field etc. and say aw look at bambi, aint it cute!! I hate to break it to you but 85% of us could care less either way about this subject and it never even crosses their mind. Why? Because this subject doesnt effect or CONCERN them either way in their daily lives and they have far greater things that CONCERN them each and every minute of every day that they do care about and that does effect them and their families.
