Hopefully you and Doug are the only ones that believe the herd in 2G decreased because hunters failed to harvest enough deer.Here is what really happens when harvests exceed recruitment and reduce the OWDD..

Harvest Data For 2G


Year antlered harvest antlerless harvest harvest PSM antlerless allocation

2003 10,110 20,370 7.4 52,000 2.55 tags/deer
2004 6,400 13,100 4.7 52,000 3.95 tags/deer
2005 5,000 6,200 2.7 29,000 4.70 tags/deer
2006 7,200 4,600 2.8 19,000 4.10 tags/deer
2007 5,100 6,600 2.8 25,000
2008 6,800 6,500 3.2 25,000

So when hunters harvested more deer as you suggested they should ,they reduced the harvest rate by by 57% even though there should have been twice as much food available /deer since there was roughly half as many deer in 2008 as there were in 2003.

Now your list of false claims and predictions has increased to 0 for 13. Keep digging.
