"Where the herd has been reduced the most the forest is still rated poor and there is no indication they intent to allow the herd to increase any time soon."
Even in areas where the forest ISNT rated poor the herdis not and will not be permitted to increase. Also, evenin areas of "claimed" stabilization, more tags are being issued and the harvestgoals have been HIGHER then they were when PGC recorded reduction had taken place! As occurred in this wmu, You simply dont reduce a herd by approx 7% with 45,000 tags and a harvest of 16,500-- Then the following years claim the goal is stabilization, yet have a harvest goal of 18,000 and issue 55000 to 60,000 tags every singleyear since!!
Its kill the deer and when it becomes unacceptable and unsupportable to the masses...and when their own data and guidelines no longer show need for reduction and it cant even be STRETCHED.... Then they just lie about the intentions and kill kill kill some more.[:'(]
