Default RE: PA Anterless Allocations

DCNR may well have a goal of 5 dpfsm but the PGC just cut antlerless tags by 44% and 39% in the WMU's that have been hardest hit and they are still way above 5 dpfsm.

Can you provide any data to support your opinion. The last time the PGC released any OWDD data was 2003 when there were 12 DPSM in 2 G. In 2003 hunters harvested 7.4 DPSM, whicj exceeded net rcruitment by 2.6 DPSM so the OWDD in 2G was reduced to around 9.4 DPSM The 2004 harvest also exceeded recruitment in 2 G ,so the OWDD in now probably less than 9 DPSM. and even though te anterless tags were were reduced ,there will still be enough tags to reduce the herd even more since it will onlly take an anterless harvest of 2 DPSM to reduce the herd even more.
