Guys like DougE and me and BWJ AND blkpowder and bowtruck and Livbucks and pats and thousands of others are finding the deer with no problem so it stands to reason that we are NOT the ones with our heads up the donkeys ass. Maybe if you pulled your head out of there and spent the time really hunting and scouting, you'd see that. Maybe you'd actually see some deer LOL.
As usual you are flat out wrong. The same hunters that harvested 517,529 deer in 2002 can now only harvest 335k deer on a sustainable basis and the only reason is that the harvests have been exceeding recruitment since 2000. those harvests have resulted in a 5% decrease in breeding rates, decreased productivity and lower sustainable harvests.
Only a fool would support a plan that reduced recruitment ,herd health and produced a lower sustainable harvests. are you one of those fools?
