This is a prime example of how a biased PGC supporter only sees what he wants to see and manipulates data to support his agenda. It is obvious that the 2003 antlerless harvest reduced the OWDD resulting in a PSDD ( pre-season)of 16 DPSM. In contrast the 2003 harvest in 2D resulted in a PSSDD in 2004 of 33 DPSM. Then, in 2004 a much lower harvest rate still reduced the OWDD resulting in a PSDD in 2005 of only 12 DPSM,a 25% decrease. But, in 2D a much higher antlerless harvest rate only reduced the PSDD from 33 in 2004 to 32 PSDPSM in 2005 which is only a 3 % decrease.
The low fawn recruitment numbers in 2G are due to having the lowest OWDD of of any WMU while the high fawn recruitment in 2D is due to having more than twice the number of OWD as 2G.
