It doesn't take gall it just takes more knowledge and being objective. I have been following what Miss. has been doing for many years and know for a fact that Dr. Demarias attributed the decrease in rack sizes in Miss. to high grading and not to a change in the gene pool . Furthermore Dr. Demarias did not base his conclusions on the theory that spikes are inferior and the fact that Kroll made that claim shows that he didn't take the time to research the facts regarding Miss. ARs.
Wrong again!
Dr Kroll
clearly has said that no determination as to genetic quality can be made based on antler size on a 1.5 year old deer. He never said that spikes were inferior as you claim and you know that full well.
And you wonder why I characterize you posts as lies ?!?!?!?
I may not be an expert ,but I have enough knowledge and experience to read the articles by the so called experts and point out their flaws and contradictions. The reasons Kroll cited for supporting ARs were laughable at best and ridiculous at their worst. Alsheimers article recommended a doe harvest of 29 DPSM while in the same article stating that most habitats can support 35-40 DPSM. Kroll also claimed PA had shown,"some amazing results" which is also laughable when you consider their is no data that shows ARs increased the rack sizes of 2.5+ buck and that we are harvesting fewer 2.5+ buck than we did in 2002.
Once again,you provide partial truths and assemble them into a lie. All one has to do is read either of the ENTIRE articles by Alsheimer or Kroll to recognize that.
Your abilities to judge wildlife management ranks up there with the auto mechanic who feels qualified to pick a stock portfolio because he reads the financial section once a week.
Your wildlife management skills are on par with the Dentist who decides he can build his own home after watching a few episodes of this old house.
Your wildlife management skills rank righton parwith a carpenter delivering his wifes baby after seeing it done on Seinfeld.
My point is that a little knowledge can be helpful but in the wrong hands it is dangerous. You are those wrong hands.
Second opinions are always a good idea and we certainly have good cause to get second opinions but I think I'll look to the professionals for mine.
