This post will make BTB's day since he questioned the ridiculous doe harvest rates Alsheimer recommended. Like BTB I questioned those harvest rates so I checked on the data from Steuben Co. NY and found that their buck harvest rate was 4.4 buck PSM. The 2006 buck harvest rate for 2A in PA was 4.47 buck PSM and a antlerless harvest rate of only 13.86 DPSM continued to reduce the herd.

So although Alsheimer claimed that a harvest rate of 29 doe PSM was sustainable, it is apparent that a harvest rate that high was nothing but a gross exaggeration.
