1.No I'm not the CEO but I own an agency so I have a very good handle on what's a concern and what isn't.Deer are not a concern and there isn't one bit of evidence that suggests that anyone from the insurance industry has ever asked the PGC or the legislators for less deer.
2.Collins Pines,DCNR,Farmers and other stakeholders were never shy about publicly asking for less deer.The insurance industry never has.As far as porcupines,if they're damaging tress,then that would make Collins Pines a stake holder.I have no information that they ever asked for less porkys.However,I doubt it would be a secret if they had.Porcupines are a nuisance if there's too many.Not only do they eat the bark off of trees,they damage property including buildings,vehicles,tractors,not to mention what they do to dogs.
3.I never shoot porcupines when I see them I in the woods and I see them almost every time I'm out there.We're loaded with them up here.I live on a horse farm out in the middle of no where.The dogs stay on our property but they run free when we're outside.I kill every one I see on my property.So far this year,we've only killed one.
4.Possums,skunks and weasels have no closed season other than on sundays.No,I've never killed any of them.A skunk just made a mess out of my lawn so if I see that bugger,it's gonna die.
5.We also have fishers up here but where the habitat is suitable,we still have plenty of turkeys,squirrels and grouse.What I've really noticed a sharp decline of is woodchucks.Fifteen years ago,I used to kill 60+/year.This year we've hunted them harder than usual because my son likes to shoot them.I think he's only up to 6 or so for the season and most of them were shot on our property.Last year he only killed about 15.
