look at list of people that started all this.very few if any are hunters.all hand picked by certain groups with INFLUENCE in harrisburg,pa.
it goes right back to MONEY.forest certification the politicians feel will increase the price of timber.that is what is behind it.no doubt in my mind that insurance co. were complaining also about the deer in meetings with their reps.
Gary Alt was a DNR Biologist here in WV, before moving to PA for the bear management program. gary was instrumental, from what I recall, in the successful turkey re-stocking project. What he's done up there, I don't know.....
