Default RE: Witch Doctors Should Hunters Believe

Here is where you disagreed with Asheimer, because he said the recommened doe harvest /1000acres was 45 doe ,which equate to 29 Doe PSM
Does anyone in his right mind beleive that ANYONE would promote a deer density so high that it could sustain a HARVEST of 29 doe per square mile? A sustained doe harvest that large would require a pre season density of 90-100 DPSM when adult bucks, buck fawns, and non hunting mortality are also considered. He expects us to buy that fairy tale?
Now here is what Asheimer said;
The proper number of deer per square mile of deer habitat will vary by region. In our farm rich area of New York State , biologists would like to see no more than 35-40 deer per square mile. Unfortunately these numbers haven’t been seen for more than two decades.

In our QDM program we typically harvest between 8 and 12 does per season on our 200 acres. This is a bit more than the normal recommended harvest of 45 does per 1,000 acres, but we harvest a few more than some might think we need to because some of our surrounding neighbors do not believe in killing does.
The doe harvest on Alsheimer land would equal 32 doe PSM.
And yes, you've called them all liars and of course you've claimed to understand better than them what's right for PA

All that together makes what I said before valid. You think or at least you pretend that you know more than they do.
The only one I called a liar is Alt , because he knew he wasn't telling the truth about the B/D ratio or the effects of ARs. I didn't call Asheimer and Kroll ,liars . I simply disagreed with them You seem to think anyone that disagrees with you is a liar ,so I can understand your confusion.
