RE: Alt Don't let the door hit you in the...........
You guys are getting carried away here. I am in no way saying that the PGC should be elimated and hunters should be solely self regulated. The fact of the matter is hunters have been self rugulating themselves for many years now. Do you remember when doe tags could oly be gotten if you knew someone. Or when doe tags were sold to local gun clubs who would buy them and not use them.
What's wrong with useing discression in your hunting area if deer sightings are lower than desirable? Correct me if I'm wrong there are many steps to any management program. One of them is planning and one of them is execution. Do you think it's at all possible the PGC's herd numbers are off in some areas from year to year?? I think the PGC has been grossly off with the allotment of tags. So if planning from afar is off should we compound the problem on the local level??
