Lawsuit challenges policies on PA deer
USP is one of many organizations representing hunters in Pennsylvania, although it regularly has been the lone organizational dissenting voice against the changes the commission has made in the deer management program.

I really think they're putting themselves out on a limb here.If they lose which I expect they will it gives a shot to their credibility.
I feel our deer management program needs repaired or some changes but don't feel this is the route to take.

So they finally went through with it. One of the guys that came into the shop tonight mentioned it. I thought he was joking but apparently he wasn't.

Well, I guess this proves that the USP is really a fringe loonie tune organization. They will lose this suit, costing them a whole lot of money, I hope. The big problem is that this suit will cost the game commission a pile of money to defend. If I were a member of the USP, which I am not, I would terminate my membership immediately.

Since I have been warned about posting anything negative about Alt's plan , I will simply say that the only benefit I see from the suit , is that if and when Dr. R and other PGC staff are deposed or testifies under oath, we will finally learn how much the herd has been reduced . Since the buck harvest in 2004 was equivalent to the buck harvest in 1983 it appears that the herd has been reduced by 30-40%. A good attorney will not allow the PGC to dodge the question by claiming they don't have enough data to determine the size of the herd.
