The PFBC argued that reducing the creel limit for trout offered no biological benefit. They insisted that the reduction would not necessarily equate to more trout in our streams for a longer period of time. They might be right. This could be one of those counterintuitive dilemmas that run counter to conventional reasoning. After all, gun owners have argued for years that more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens hands means less crime.
Statistics support that logic.
That sure does sound like a conservationist theme to me. It appears this organization has the good of the resource in their heart. Spokesperson Ed Wentzler once stated bow seasons should start September 1 and conclude March 1 and the resource would be unaffected. Ed is supported occasionally by a statement from the PGC that bowhunting during the rut has no biological impact on our deer resource. Fishing season is rapidly approaching, but it would be appropriate to wrap up some hunting issues and ponder the future of hunting.
