On page 65 in the Digest the PGC has presented a 10 question quiz on deer management. Here is question #10.

10. True or false? A shorter firearms season would reduce the antlerless harvest.
The PGC's says the correct answer is false. They claim it is the number of antlerless licenses allocated and hunter success that achieves a desired harvest. But, they also say that changing the length of the season may change the number of tags it takes to harvest a deer
and as a result the antlerless allocations may change.


So , they are saying that if the antlerless allocations were kept constant ,shortening the season would decrease the antlerless harvest. But, if the season was shortened they would just increase the allocations to insure the same number of deer were harvested. How could any agency be more disingenuous/
