"Try and keep in mind that the agency lied when they said PA had 1.6 Million Deer on the hoof."
They did? I didn’t know you or anyone else had an accurate count on the deer. Perhaps you can present your accurately counted deer numbers for the USP court case?
You mean that all the numbers that you posted over the years weren't accurate AND YOU KNEW IT? Why then should we believe anything from an admitted b.s.er?
BTW, it is the
PGC that will have to back up the numbers they published if they dispute USP claims of arbirtary and capricious deer management.
There was and is a ton of scientific data to support every management objective in place today.
Too bad that data does not include accurate deer numbers.
As for the accuracy of the deer harvests the methods of calculating the annual harvests by determining the reporting rate and then factoring that into the actual reported harvest was scrutinized and evaluated by a leading accounting firm and found to be an accurate and reliable method of estimating the harvest. In fact it is more accurate then check stations.
