Default RE: Whats wrong with the gamelands?

Your spinning is going around in circles.On numerous occassions I've herd you say that you figured the breeding rates were declining because you felt that the felt the older age does where getting shot.Now,when it's convenient to use the PGC stats to your advatage,you say the herd is unhealthy.
I did not say the herd was unhealthy. What I said is that herd health decreased from 2000 to 2007 based on the criteria the PGC uses to establish herd health. I still believe that breeding rates and productivity declined because we reduced the average age of the female herd by shooting more adult doe.

The PGC established the criteria for determining herd health, not me. What criteria would you suggest the PGC use for determining herd health and how would you suggest they collect enough data to determine herd health?
