I truly sympathize with you but Dr Alt didnt cause your problem. Your problem is caused by too FEW available doe permits for the demand.
Dr Alt advocated MORE not LESS doe permits when he was here.
Once again you demonstrate you lack of knowledge of deer management. The high altlerless allocations of 44k , requested by Alt in 2003 and 2004 reduced the herd to a point where it only took 28K tags to keep the herd stable in 2006 and 2007. Therefore, the herd reduction as a result of Alt's plan is directly responsible for the current low allocations in 2F.
And in the past 40 years there have been cycles in the old county oriented antlerless allocations several times generating either an excess or shortage of tags that affects non residents in particular. During that 40 years there have always been a few vocal doomsayers like bluebird2 claiming the impending doom for the deer herd to be just around the corner.
