How many hunters is is all right to lose?
In wartime, commanders make calculations as to how many soldiers will be lost to achieve some objective and then decide if the losses will be worth it or not.
Likewise, Pennsylvania's PGC Board of Commissioners decided on a course of action (HR/AR) that cost us hunters.In the last two years we lost about 9% and we will likely lose more until their habitat objectives are reached. I assume that they felt it was worth it.
How many hunters do you think it is all right to lose--25%, 50%?
I hope some of the PGC posters will also respond to this.

This thread is intended tobash the PGC. These USP members cry "no deer" and complain about everything the PGC does.
How about you qiut hunting Mocha, and your USP friends and we'll see if anyone notices. I'm sure the PGC can do w/o the whiners.

I don't disagree w/ that. What u need to understand is that habitat improvement/herd stabilization is a long term process. It's going to take a while to fix it. It took decades of overbrowsing by high populations to put our forests in the condition they're in.
Do u think the PGC wants to loose hunters. I don't think so. Yes, that's theirincome for funding wildlife programs.
That being said, they need the hunter's support to accomplish their goals.Quit whining and think of some way to help.
If you're not part of the solution ,you're part of the problem.
