I really feel sorry for you. You have come to hate the PGC and Gary Alt so much that you cant acknowledge any fact that doesn't fit your picture of how you want things to be.
It is you that has a problem acknowledging the facts. While the PGC said the herd had been reduced in some areas ,they still claimed the statewide herd had increased. If they would have returned to using the old model ,instead of sticking with the new model they could have given the hunters credit for reducing the statewide herd by over 30%. They posted the comparison of the old and the new model but choose to ignore it so they could justify asking hunters to reduce the herd even more.
BTW, I suppose you forgot what someone told the Audubon conference about alpha ,beta and omega hunters!
