Now that the long awaited audit is about to begin, perhaps we ought to all do our best to be objective about what it may find.
What do you think the chances are the audit will provide a logical explanation for why 2F is being managed at almost twice the density as 2G even though it has poorer regeneration. Dr. Rosenberry,RSB and other PGC supporters haven't come close and neither will the audit. Will the audit explain how all but 1 WMU is at its target goal for herd health with such a wide range in productivity? Will it explain why statewide breeding rates decreased by 5% when they were predicted to increase? Will it explain why 5C has the worst regeneration in the state even though it has very good soils and a deer density that is considerably below the MSY carrying capacity?
The fact is , it is highly unlikely that any of those questions will be answered by the audit and we will be told that the plan is scientifically sound.
