Default RE: How should Wildlife Management be funded?

Since you don’t seem to think unlimited antler less licenses can be a good thing for deer numbers perhaps you can explain how the areas of the state that have had unlimited license for close to two decades now have increasing deer populations even though their past five year average antler less harvest has been more then 4.5 times as high per square mile, city streets included, as it has been in unit 2G.
for the life of me ,I can't understand why you continue to flaunt your total ignorance on a subject that has been explained over and over again./ The antlerless harvests in 2B simply failed to exceed recruitment and therefore the herd expanded even with increased antlerless harvests. Despite the fact that the herd continued to increase for 2 decades the herd still did not come close to exceeding the carrying capacity of the habitat so breeding rates and recruitment remained high. But in 2G harvests exceeded recruitment and the herd was reduced to much lower levels than the habitat could support and as a result recruitment dropped like a rock along with the sustainable harvest.
