BT,that's ridiculous and you know it.The state forests comprise less than 8% of our land mass.DCNR has dmap to ensure that the state forests stay certified.If you remember correctly,they asked the PGC for baiting,longer seasons,tag sharing,group hunting and rifles throughout the entire season.They got none of that except dmap.
If my position is ridiculous let's see if you can explain why your position isn't even more ridiculous. The PGC kept the herd basically stable from 1987 to 1997 and the 1997 harvest kept the herd stable In 1998 and 1999 the PGC issued an all time record, at that time, of 891 K,which was more than issued in 2000 and 2001. WMU 2G was already at it's goal of 15 DPSM and the harvests were keeping the herd below the MSY carrying capacity of the habitat.
So please explain why Alt was hired to sell a plan to reduce the herd in 2G to less than half of the MSY carrying capacity of the habitat? Why is 2F being managed at almost twice the DD of 2G when the forest health in both areas is rated poor? Why didn't the breeding rates in 2G increase dramatically with twice the amount of food/deer if the habitat was as poor as you and the PGC claim? Just why did the PGC chose to ruin deer hunting for so many hunters who just enjoyed seeing dee by implementing the concurrent seasons?
