The PGC has stated that the harvest rates of the does being tracked was not representative of the over all kill ratio. Furthermore before you try to belittle a fellow hunter you should do the math to see if you claim had any relationship to reality. If the 2007 harvest of 11,700 deer represented 15% of the deer that died in 2007, then we have the following equation.

.15X=11,700 where X represents the total number of deer that died in 2G in 2007. Now dividing .15 into 11,700 ,according to your theory 78,000 or 19 DPSM, deer died in 2G in 2007. Now that is a truly amazing number when you consider the PGC claimed there were 49,368 PS deer in 2G in 2005. In any case you are claiming 6.6 times more deer died from natural causes than were harvested. Even the USP wouldn't make such a ridiculous claim.
