First of all do you have any idea why the professionals no longer manage the deer herd based on those over winter deer estimates that you base your entire premise and management objective on?
They don’t use those over winter estimates, as the means of managing today, because they don’t tell enough of the deer/habitat relationship facts and can lead you to the incorrect conclusions and thus the wrong management direction. Which is exactly what they frequenlty did in the past.
Thank you for once again demonstrating your colossal ignorance of how our herd is managed, since it is quite clear that you don't realize they are still using the over wintering deer density estimates to manage the herd.Every year the PGC calculates the change in the over wintering deer density and allocates doe tags based on those changes. That is why they increased the allocation in 2G from 16K in 2006 to 29K in 2007.
Yes, in that 60-70 year period there had been a few times the harvests had been increase enough to get some habitat recovery on the ground for a few years. But, every time it got on the right track, to where there was some habitat recovery, it was short lived before the public and political pressures forced it into allowing over population again until any short term gains were lost again.
Now you are just being silly. The data clearly shows the habitat in 2G supported more than 20 DPSM from 1983 to 2000. That is a far cry from being just a few years as you claim.
You have named three states what about all the others that are seeing the bennys from AR maybe you dont want to talk of those states.
What a loser!! Now you are even plagarizing my posts
