""You said again and again that herd health and reproduction had declined. you have not proven any such thing because it's simply not true.
I'll help you out a little: ""
Ha ha ha. BTB, thats really funny. You claim it isnt true, yet provide our very link that proves it is!! Maybe you think noone will click on it, and take your word for it? (LOL)
Truth is, not even you can cover that up with nonsense and talking in circles. I didnt dodge a thing, I addressed you with the facts as straightforward as is possible to do. ITs as clear as the nose on your face. The data clearly shows Declines steadily and across the board as stated. These things you say "didnt change". That in itself would be enough to NOT support the program. They were SUPPOSED TO CHANGE. FOR THE BETTER!.
They didnt. Number of adult does bred declined significantly. Number of embryos had a downhill slide, and the timing of the breeding window according to pgc did not change at all.
As I said, the annual report (which you kindly provided link to) shows the declines.
Ebryos per doe?
2002----1.64
2003----1.60
2004----1.53
2005----1.51
Gee. Great improvement chief! (LOL) [8D][8D]
Percent of adult doe even bred dropped from 92% dropped down to the most recent year on the chart which also happens to be by far the lowest level on the chartat 87%!
Wow. Successful deer plan there bro! (LOL)[:'(]
What does that mean?
FAILURE.
Throw in with all this the losing of hunter numbers at over double the national average and anyone can see that continuing such undefendable asnine antics as pgc is doing isbordering oncriminal.
Corny, are you Larry's brother Darryl or his other brother Darryl? you sure seem to sound a lot alike.
Right out of Bluebird Larry's playbook of how liars can figure.... You selectively took the little 4 year slice of time that makes your slant look the best. here's a few more years from PA's research....
2000 1,075 14 November 90 1.60 90
2001 942 17 November 91 1.58 92
2002 520 14 November 86 1.64 91
2003 618 14 November 93 1.60 92
2004 601 15 November 90 1.53 89
2005 883 14 November 90 1.51 87
2006 632 11 November 89 1.53 85
The median embryos per doe for that time period is 1.57 and the median percent of does bred is 89.4 I dont quite know how to help you understand that these are normal fluctuations but it's kind of obvious that you only wish to understand your own ill conceived notions of how you think things ought to be.
Funny how more complete facts seem to water down your argument!
Your and brothers Larry and Darryl's failures as hunters do not mean that this states deer management is a failure. It needs twaeking for sure but guys like you who need to present partial "facts" just defeat your own purpose.
