"2ahad over 100 dpfsm in 2001."

Actually it didnt. Thats wrongon all too many levels..You are speaking of one part of one county. Not the wmu as it is now. Also I never said NO reduction was needed>The highest the herd got was 69DPSM in Greene co. OW. And thats what pgc manages for an ow herd. Then, I didnt say NONE was probably beneficial, I said it went further than necessary, and despite claims of Stabilization, its STILL going on despite pgcs claims the allocation doesnt lie.... ANd extremist dougie keeps changing the subject and ignoring that real issue.

And I agree you didnt stick up for kathy davis... But you choose your wording CAREFULLY and decietfully. You stuck up for her decision of further reduction as you continue to do. You stated why reduction was needed, even though more reduction WASNT needed by pgcs data and then their hollow word.

"I just find it comical thatyou hunt in the wmu that has the highest dd in the entire state and still bawl that it isn't enough."

I find it funny you ignore the facts. THe herd is declining. Its less than 40 dpsm as you cite. And heading MUCH lower with the allocations we have. Why? Oh, no reason. Pgc is issuing more tags than will allow the goal of stabilization with 55 and 60k when 45k reduced a MUCH larger herd...and has been for 4 years now, but oh well...I shouldnt care according to lil' extremist Dougie...[:'(]

"in an area that's only about 50% forested."

Ha ha ha. Yeah. We arent "big woods" We are FARMLAND....and reverting farmland...Not CITYDougie,Greene county pa for example the biggest town is WAYNESBURG...ha ha. Have you ever even heard of it dougie? Pgc doesnt count 30-40% of the entire county as "forested" because it isnt... Its even BETTER deer habitat. Briar thickets lil dougie in the deer desert of the north can only dream of. Edge habitat. Growing up fields. Hayfields. Clover fields. Reverting strip mines. Sloughs.. BETTER than timbered. Yet pgc designates it as ZERO percent of the deer habitat! (LOL) What a joke. Course you knew that too dougie. We discussed that as well on the pa outdoors site. But your extremist memory is a bit selective.

Reproduction in this area is as good as anywhere. But even Pgc rated it as satisfactory, which wouldve been higher if the "plan" hasnt become such a failure and had STATEWIDE reproduction DROP, and alsoif pgc had legitimate sample sizes and didnt test 1 doe per 100square miles due to ineptitude and laziness! (LOL). Sorry that doesnt equalless deer for you treehuggers.
