You are demanding what has been proven to totally irresponsible management that would lead to damaged habitat and result in lower deer numbers for the future.
Poor uneducated individuals like you have been making that claim for years. The deer have proven 12 out of 12 of your predictions have been wrong yet you continue to claim you are right.
Oh, so you are try to claim then that the deer numbers in the northern tier traditional deer range are just as high as they ever were?
I’ve already posted the data showing how hunters have harvested fewer deer, not more deer as you claim, in unit 2G so either there are more deer in unit 2G then ever before or something other then hunting reduced their numbers.
Since it obviously wasn’t hunters harvesting them, as the harvests prove, that reduced the numbers over the past twenty years how do you want to explain the decline if it isn’t because the habitat couldn’t support more deer?
The plain and simple fact of the matter is that the deer and their habitat have repeatedly proved that your rants and ramblings about the number of deer the habitat should or even could support, for more then short term periods, simply isn’t realistic, practical or even possible.
You need to face the fact that you really don’t know much about the deer/habitat relationship or how each affect the other. You need to spend your time learning about the subject instead of trying to educate people about things you know nothing about.
