It really is truly amazing how little guys like BTB know about deer management. If the hunters in 2F and 2G adapted as BTB suggests, they wouldn't buy doe tags in those WMUs and instead would hunting other WMUs leaving very few hunters to control the herd in 2F and 2G. Another thing BTB doesn't realize is that hunters have adapted to the point where there are very few WMUs where the PGC claims they want to reduce the herd and in those WMUs the harvest is significantly affected by limited access. The, fact is , in most WMUs we are harvesting all the deer that can be harvested on a sustainable basis and in several WMUs harvests are still exceeding recruitment ,due in part to reduced breeding rates and productivity.
