Kroll totally misrepresented what Dr. Demarais said and therefore he demonstrated his lack of knowledge rather than refuting Dr. D's work.
Kroll simply pointed out that Dr Demarais
failed to consider the inadequate doe harvest and also that Dr Demarais
failed to consider that past studies have shown conclusively that antler size in the first year has no genetic significance. Kroll didn't misreresent what Dr D said, he merely pointed out that Dr D
failed to consider certain relevant data in drawing his conclusions. Lets see, he came to the conclusion he wanted by leaving out certain relevant data.... No wonder you chose to quote him. He must be your disinformation hero.
Now that's just plain silly . All of the principles of Alt's plan are still in effect and it doesn't matter what you call it. The fact remains the plan decreased breeding rates and productivity without decreasing the breeding window. Breeding rates and productivity also decreased at the Kinzua QDM area where the herd was reduced by 48%.
When I heard Alt speak about his plan he EMPHATICALLY stressed that it was likely to need to be changed and molded as it went. he leftalmost immediately afterit got started. The point is that I'm neither defending or condemning Alt's part in the plan but it is no longer his plan as he had nothing to say about how it continued once he was gone.
You have produced nothing that shows a correllation betweenthe reduction in the herd and the decrease in breeding rates.You are declaring a conclusion without any real support for it other than you "think" that HR is the cause. It's easy to be an armchair biologist when you don't have to follow the principles of good research. RSB has laid out plenty of other plausible causes for the reduced breeding and recruitment rates but you stubbornly cling to only one conclusion (theone that fits your agenda) with no proof to back you up.
You complained relentlessly a while back as deaddeer and deerfly before you got banned that all your hunting party could to shoot find was button bucks (of course you shot 5 out of 6)and you expect us to beleive you don't have a heavy bias yourself?
