That is why PGC supporters are such a special breed. What they believe doesn't have to make sense and as you pointed out they seem to believe there is an unlimited supply of deer to be harvested, if hunters would move more and hunt harder. Apparently they believe if hunters had harvested 13,200 antlerless in 2007 instead of 6,600 it would have no effect on this years harvests. That level of denial of the truth is equivalent to the cult mentality of many fringe religious groups.
Here is why RSB is the front runner for the exalted position of the village idiot.
You did hit on the exact reason I say the deer herd reduced its own numbers when you mentioned license allocations that exceeded recruitment. That is exactly right but at what point is it reduced recruitment is the problem instead of allocations that are too high? That IS the entire point I have been trying to bring forward for people to think about and understand. More on that soon.
Apparently RSB thinks the herd should increase recruitment to compensate for the antlerless allocations, even though the fawns that are born after the antlerless allocations were set, were conceived the previous fall. Obviously RSB doesn't have a clue about how our herd is managed and he is doing a grave disservice to the PGC by posting his nonsense.
