"DougF" you must be kidding. I'm sorry, but I must take exception with your latest comment. The PGC still hasn't a clue as to how many deer are out there. They haven't a clue as to how many we killed. This particular aspect has been a joke for decades because they refuse to improve their methods of accounting. They don't even have a 1-800 number to call in a kill for recording. Their recording system is antiquated , to say the least.

The FLIR (flyover) was a joke. They did that in the dead of winter so they could visibly see the animals. Deer will herd up on sunny slopes in very cold winter in large numbers This can be dacieving and give you a false impression as to deer movement and numbers.

Your sure you don't work for or are affiliated with the agency in some shape or form?
