Thank you for the wonderful response Bowhunt05...

My point is that everyone on this forum seems to be picking a specific group to target.

Non-Resident Hunters
Archery Hunters
Children Hunters

Some with to cut doe tags 60%

Others only want residents to shot does

Other areas of the state need to have increased harvest

I'm sure if I reread all of the posts that I could come up with some other categories, but those three stick out. There does seem to be a common thread amongst those three though, every group enjoys hunting.

I'm sure as Sniper indicated that with proper sound management at the State and Local levels that you may not have exactly what each of you want, but there are room for improvements in many aspects.

It does leave very little misunderstanding though based on the responses that no matter what the PGC does, everyone isn't going to be happy. There are going to be emotionally based, non-game management responses...and so be it. Hopefully though, some of the people that are making intelligent suggestions that are good for both hunters and the deer herd will speak and be heard by the PGC.

As far as the monetary dollars...my point was that with proper game management and deer numbers, the state is reaping a large amount of money from non-resident hunters. You are correct, without the deer numbers that number will shrink. My thought is that you can have both with proper management. I'm pretty sure that is what the many citizens who's business thrives off these hunters would agree they want the deer numbers up to continue to attract them.

As to your statement "thats half of americas problem todays to many people have to study something"......you are right. But I certainly hope that they do an indepth study of the deer herd to do the right things and included in that study are listening to people, such as yourself and the other members here who seem to have a vast range of suggestions and ideas concerning the situation and are so very passionate about it.
