case, you are not proposing options, instead you are telling us 

 what you are convinced is the best management option while 

 challenging the public to beat your data with all we have to 

 offer -our own observations in the woods, which don't seem to 

 mean much compared with your sometimes shaky scientific data 

 which is collected under very uncertain and uncontrollable 

 atandards that are mostly based upon your suppositions and your 

 own personal theories . .-none of which are really able to be 

 classified as sound scientific data bases. 

 I rest my case. . . . 

 Thank you for listening....! hope I have not offended you.
