Default RE: How many Pa hunters are pleased?

Well said Mr. Pike

BTbow can't rationally respond because there are only a handfull of QDM proponents who support the idea of Alts plan, and most of them are not apprised of the ACTUAL content. Like PA only considering forest as habitat. Like farm fields and orchards, and small open areas are not habitat? Whaaaaaaa? And the dd goals for herd reduction.

At the recent QDM weenie show in Michigan the daunted John Ozoga was asked about the statewide AR pa is using..................and he said he is against it and the science does not support its use. !!! chuuuumba wuuuumba ! from Ozoga

btbow better go back and check his list of biologists supporting Alt. Seems as though when they find out details, THEY BACK OFF that support.

In my opinion the direction the supoprt is going, is down. Some hunters were holding out that it would make for better hunting, they were the first to drop thier support as it does not and that was apparent quickly. Then there were many die hard support the biologists at any turn crowd because we need less deer to make big booner bucks pop out of shrubbery. They have now dropped support because thats not happening in any way shape or form. And lastly are the hunters who just say "oh well, we have to have half the deer we used to in order to help the forestry dept keep the profit levels up for our timber sales" so we will just sit back and accept what we are told because we have such low expectations.

Support is waning and that is obvious.
