Germ is absolutely correct. Dr. James Kroll is a well known whitetail biologist for over 30 years, I think. He may know a thing or 2 about healthy herds, not just population control.
I guess my question would be.........if it is that simple then why don't all the other states just follow along?
After reading all these posts and topics the last few days, it makes me wonder if anybody ever reads any info or studies by these guys??!! Not many people seem to know about Kroll, Ozunga or others, or even the publications like North American Whitetail or Deer& Deer Hunting where their articles can be found.
What I wonder is how many people truely know how to read a "study" and analyze the statistical data within. I have been part of the peer review process for numerous journals including NEJM so I have a bit of confidence in my ability to tell what is relevant and what is not.
I feel comfortable in my opinion that there are many confounding variables that are just not considered and that is the reason why these guys don't have universal acceptance and implementation of their policies.
Atlas,
I don't know what you do for a living but I know that you know all states don't do the same thing because they want to be different or they have their own agenda.
I have no doubt that you can interpret studies, but, have you read any of the ones I've mentioned?
I've followed these guys for years and tend to believe what they are saying.
