Default RE: PA Anterless Allocations

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.
You've provided all the data I need right here. 9 is dpsm is way more than 5. It's pretty simple math.

Can you substantiate your opinion that the 2004 harvest exceeded recruitment and can you substantiate your opinion that the owdd was further reduced and that a harvest of only 2 DPSM will further reduce the herd.

Cold, hard, independent, documented, facts from somewhere other than your calculator please.
