Default RE: Whats wrong with the gamelands?

Well then using that goofy analogy explain what happened between the early nineties, when 2G hunters had been harvesting more deer for several year then any time since, that the hunters could continue to sustain those relatively higher harvests but couldn’t sustain even lower harvests for a shorter time period ten years later?
Most people realize that the 52K antlerless tags issued in 2G in 2003 and 2004 were designed to reduce the herd and they accomplished just that . As a result the herd in 2G was reduced from 15 OWDPSM in 2000 to 12 PS DPSM or 8-9 OWDPSM in 2006. There simply is no way 8-9 DPSM can sustain a harvest that a herd of 15 DPSM would produce. It is just that simple and if you weren't so indoctrinated even you might be able to grasp the simple concept of using antlerless harvests to reduce the herd.
