But my question is how the results will be used to improve deer management, when they claim antlerless allocations are based on herd health and forest health rather than the number of deer in each WMU or the number of deer needed to keep the herd stable?
Knowing exactly how hunting fits into deer mortality will only serve to help reinforce the validity of the present system or point out the need for changes. Either way, the herd and the hunters benefit. Better information for all is never a bad thing unless ones agenda is threatened by better information.
The PGC is attempting to obtain better information. Do you agree with that or not?
