"We now have a hunting season with better quality, healthier animals instead of a shooting season at itty bitty deer."

Look to be about the same size to me. Seems the recent scoring session didnt exactly support your theory. A bust.Your also intending to mislead on the "healthier" statement. You have been provided the pgc data showing otherwise, therefore you cannot claim ignorance for making unsupported claim/ telling another whopper.

Good point about 2A there bluebird. Very interesting that we cut the herd in half, had acceptable ratings for regeneration even in the earliest study when deer herd was MUCH higher, we cut the herd significantly, Then later the percentage of regeneration then went from 58% in 2005, to 61% the following year....

Then in the very next years assessment...out of the clear blue BAM!! Straight down the toilet to 46%! lmao.... and the NEXT year...2007 even further flushed at 36%!!! And thats even with reduction occurring SINCE the claims of stabilization according to the pgc annual reports! I guess the audubon folks decided they wanted the ENTIRE forest floor covered with trillium as opposed to only half of it now.

Interestingly enough, pgc moved up the antlerless allocation deadline, making them easier to get and also making them available longer also added opportunity. No doubt in anticipation of further reducing wmus where they are already selling about all the antlerless tags they can sell already. Like 2 bazillion found in 2A (despite claimed goal of stabilization mind you lmao!) which it usually takes us into the season before they are sold out. Anyway, it appears that once it comes time again to reevaluate the goal 5 years since the last time, they will have some nice manufactured data by then to add to the slaughter even more. Gonna be some wmus taking one helluva hit again.

And some dont want to believe the econuts running the show are SCAMARTIST??
