Mr. D, please do some reading on the issue at hand. The PGC is trying to make a more natural breeding ecology by correcting the long out-of-whack doe:buck ratio.

Turd Fergusen, I don't think Dr. Alt is trying to push the big buck issue. It is a rather appealing side effect of a balanced herd. I won't say that I'm an expert on deer biology....I'm far from it. BUT, I will stick my neck out and say that those 6 sub-legal bucks on your property will be legal next year.

Change scares people! It's really that simple, I think. Almost everyone I know is worried that the deer are simply going to vanish overnight if we harvest does. It was not intended for us to 50 does a day and not one buck. It's not natural....we as hunters and managers have made it that way. I think in a few years we'll see some results that prove the Dr's theory works.

This isn't brain surgery, but it isn't simple math either....we all know that this is a project expected to cover a few years at the least. We need to give it a chance before we say it isn't working or that it won't work. Noone here is capable of saying that. How many leases have started some sort of management practice? I never hear them saying this will never work....they know it will because they already use similar tactics.
