I'll just offer this up: the ability to use a calculator and the willingness to hammer away at it for hours to come up with a way of stating your case does not make one an expert. If a point is to be made, it shouldn't take statistical smoke and mirrors to make it
Analyzing the data may not make one an expert but it certainly makes one much better informed. If we only relied on what the PGC tells us , one might think that the harvest of 2,5+ buck more than doubled due to AR's ,since the percentage of 2.5+ buck in the harvest increased from 20% to 50%. But, in fact, the number of 2.5+ buck harvested only increased by 9.4 K or 18%. They also told us the 2005 anterless allocation was conservative, but when one considers how much the herd has been reduced , the 879K tags in proportion to the number of anterless deer available , the allocation is far from being conservative and will result in additional significant herd reduction.
