It needs tweaked everywhere. The carry capacity of the habitat isnt the same in the southwest as it is in the northwest and the southeast isnt the same as north central....etc. Some cases not even close. Though pretty much ALL of them are FAR below cc. for no good reason. Only units that any possible argument for fewer deer even exists at all is in sras where human conflict is the claimed issue.
" He11, in the hardest hit WMU in the state, which is 2G, we don't even have a CAC commitee yet!"
Consider yourself lucky. Those I have followed have been a complete travesty and joke. Some very well known Pgc insiders have taken part on cacs and attempt is made to greatly limit hunter involvement yet many antideer factions are encouraged and sought out to attend. The very design of the cac itself is made to = no increase. No matter how many attend, if only TWO disagree = no increase to deer density. PERIOD. If 5 or 50 want MORE deer doesnt make a damn bit of diff. if two econuts want less or one farmer + one forester.. whatever.. and 20 others representing hunters, landowners, business owners etc. want more... At best, you are getting "stabilization". And stabilization = more reduction according to pgc data of "stabilized" units thusfar. SHould be MAJORITY RULE PERIOD.
Cac's are a complete joke, consider yourself lucky it hasnt happened in your neck of the woods, as its an insult to our intelligence and provides deceptive b.s. grounds for herd increase prevention. And if there is any justice (which currently there isnt) this sham will be either 100% done away with or reconfigured.
i attended 1 of those meetings.president of sportsmans club said to group,I FILL MY FREEZER EVERY YEAR AND HAVE NO TROUBLE DOING IT IN WMU2G CLINTON COUNTY.
then 1 hr later a hunter said to him, I BOUGHT MY GUN AND SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO DEER HUNT, I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO SEE SOME DEER AND GET A DEER.
here comes big one from the president of club.YOU DONT HAVE TO KILL A DEER TO ENJOY WOODS..................
as paul harvey used to say, GOOD DAY!
