Default RE: PGC and Gary Alt' Newspaper comments?

1. The reason for late breeding. Alt said that late breeding was due to a skewed B/D ratio ,when the fact is the vast majority of late breeding is due to fawns being bred fron Dec. to Feb.

2. The B/D ratio prior to AR's. Alt said the B?ratio was skewed and there wasn't enough buck to breed the doe. Dr. R. said the exact opposite because our adult breeding B/D ratio before AR's was 1:2.1.

3. The projected benefits of AR's. Alt said AR's would reduce late breeding,double the number of 2.5 + buck and double the number of 8 ps. and it didn't come close.

4. The effects of the increased anterless harvests on the OWDD. Alt said the increased anterless harvests allowed to increase to 1.6 M PS deer,when in fact the harvests reduced the OWDD by more than 20% as shown by the decreasing buck harvest.

5. The effects of HR on future buck harvests. In 2002 Alt said the buck harvest would return to normal in 2003,but it continued to decline in 2003 and declined even more in 2004.
