I donno about "knock-out" punch. Would bt or someone else have made a better showing with appropriate answers... maybe. Couldnt do alot worse. But it wouldnt have mattered a bit. Mcilhinny (sp?), is not a very hunter friendly senator and clearly is doing alot of the enviromentalists and pgcs bidding these days. His mind wasnt about to be changed any more than the reps & senators on our side have been. If you send correspondence in the future to give opinions on the deer program and want changes etc. Id say save your extra few seconds of effort by not bothering to send a copy to Mcilhinny. Hes been on of the strong proponents of alternate funding etc. Also has a very good relationship with the "enviro-movement". His side is chosen and its not ours.
I'm telling ya....in no uncertain terms.....in having heard of and knowing of Larrys reputation in the Lehigh Valley and southern Pocono areas prior to his retirement....he would have had Mchalhaney begging for mercy and forgiveness.:s12:
