"Since unit 2A has the second worst over all herd health/forest health rating in the entire state "
No it isnt not even close. Among the best in the state habitatwise and the reproductive data is "ON TARGET". Thediversity drivenchange in evaluation in habitatwas meaningless. The regeneration had been increasing was at least 61% regen. and wasnt rated as poor even with over double the ow deer prior to that. Now with a modern day low deer density, its only obvious the habitat is the best its ever been. Changing evaluation tactics as pgc recently did to fulfill an econut agenda carries no weight imho.
That is only wishful thinking and opinion on your part though the scientific facts for unit 2Adon’t support your opinion.
It also doesnt really matter since the goal was and STILL is SUPPOSEDLY STABILIZATION! You seem to forget that. Yet again, despite yourclaims of what you think should be done, PGC said the wmu is to be STABILIZED.Unfortunately ithas been proven time and again year after year that 55k DOES NOT stabilize our herd, it has continued to cause it to decline according to pgc annual report. Only makes sense when 45k tags decreased a MUCH larger herd several years ago.
To stabilize means to hold in place, keep the same…. Since the allocations for 2A didn’t increase or decrease obviously they stayed the same, as in to STABILIZE.
