Ha............


I for one do not support the state "plan" that includes the massive amounts of HR, but I definately support AR. I think you already know that though.

I do support a form of managing a deer herd, however I do feel that PA's plan is jaded with other things other than the well being of the deer herd. The biggest thing I don't understand is why kill more deer because the "habitat won't support the current herd" when you could instead slightly cut the herd and improve the habitat? The amount of money that could be generated on state land by selectively cutting timber is probably easily in the 10's of millions of dollars..........and then it would create habitat that would support more deer than the current habitat and then they would have money to fund other herd management projects. I would think they would generate more $$$ from this than the $$$ they generate from increased permits and from the tree huggers.
