I guess one of the two quotes makes a better headline.

Asked when the DNR would release the comments, agency spokesperson Katie Grant said in an email to The Associated Press that the department plans to release them "eventually” but likely not as soon as today. She said the department needs to “process everything we’ve received and will make them publicly available as soon as possible.”

This is the same cop out Michigan government made. The game management is not scientific. It's done by the masses in touchy /feely citizen groups .

Im pretty sure I agree with your overall view cheeser, just saying I don’t think the article was 100% fair.

Currently the "plan" does not have any overall management numbers from what I have read. We will need to convince folks to get them off the protected list first before any new hunting could even be considered.

I wonder if I put up a sign that no eating all the other animals on my property if they will follow that request? I can tell they have been eating well all winter long, as they look pretty healthy right now.
