Plenty of hunters operate according to the if its brown its down mentality. Plenty of hunters would be all for extending seasons, extending bag limits, opening all public lands to hunting, and allowing everything from traditional bows to Uzi's to hunt deer. So, if they had put the management entirely in the hands of hunters, deer would probably be extinct in PA at this point. Compared to that, the mixed bag of folks with differing agendas currently involved may be far from perfect, but things could be worse.
Be careful of what you wish for....
