most likely because unlike deer they actually want and need good numbers of fish out there for sportsman.
You think that is an emotional, exagerated statement with no factual base???
#1 It was more a sarcastic crack then an attempt to sway opinions with false statements or misleading remarks.
#2 It is true. The DEC needs to limit deer numbers because their bread is buttered by more then just hunters dollars. Not many people call the DEC every day complaining their are too many trout in the local streams. More fish=more fishermen=more $$. The same unfortunately does not hold true with deer as when their numbers rise so do problems such as car accidents and damage to crops and property, not to mention the forest. More deer does not equal more money to the DEC.........it equals more headaches. They have to find a happy medium.
#3 You must not be clear on the point I was making. A prime example that spurred my remark was someone posting that I said there were "NO" deer in NY. It is not only a misrepresentation of what the real point is but also shows an inability to see someone elses reasoning without jumping to extreme conclusions and assumptions. When you see this type of posting it is a result of someone who can't get past their emotions on a topic and discuss it reasonably.
You should be able to tell the difference that and sarcasm.
