Wow, An opportunity is created for competent bowhunters vice hiring "sharpshooters" and some of you think that is a bad thing and want to badmouth the volunteer organization that is trying to make it happen best they can....
1. The point of the program is to thin the herd of deer in OMSP to carrying capacity NOT to create another hunting opportunity for the "public".
2. The park is public land NOT public "hunting" land.
Y'all need to do a little more research or critical thought on urban depredation (ie.. do you really want "just anybody" selected by a lottery/chance to be shooting at deer (or not) in a populated area? - Sounds irresponsible to me).
If your arguments aren't based on the facts of the issue and some research, they seem baseless and more or less sound like whining.
Now if you're just giving Barry a hard time for "sport" he's used to that (and sometimes he does deserve a good ribbing
) - but he deserves more support than tearing down for his efforts in this program and BHA. I'm sure he would appreciate constructive criticism or ideas to make the program (and BHA) better for its purpose, not necessarily better for a few individuals, much more than listening to people who complain because what seems to be best for the group isn't the best for them individually.
