The author is a hack, and honestly are deer supposed to be high on the priority list of any states Gov.?
Both posters nailed it. LOL at Durkin. Why any credible group or org or business would freely associate with him is beyond me.
We're all entitled to our own opinions, however if you're going to comment on the guy's post and call him the laughing stock of the hunting community at least have the decency to use your real name. "Deer Hunter" is pretty vague.
This maroon is not even bright enough to figure out that when you test fewer healthy animals, the "infection rate" is going to increase.
The common theme here is the lack of respect for Pat Durkin and anything he writes. This is nothing new. Sportsmen have had a negative opinion of him for some time. There is a very good reason Deer and Deer hunting magazine showed Pat the door. Bowhunting.com would do well to distance themselves from Pat to protect their brand and their own credibility.
I knew it was him before I read it to. But I do agree with some of his points but disagree with many more. I will leave it at that.
Great writers push. I think some of what he writes sucks and I think some of what he has written is great and has made me think. The last Eric Church cd I bought had about 6 songs that sucked and about 5 really good ones. I would keep Durkin around.
