If you think that reducing the tags is going to have much effect when 80+% of the deer that die are dying from other causes, you are simply refusing to accept reality therefore no amount of facts are going to satisfy you. I've seen RSB go into great detail in trying to explain things to you. He has far more information available and is far better qualified to discuss 2G than either of us will ever be. You dismiss virtually everything he posts so no, I have no intent of trying to teach the pig to sing. Theres no explaining anything to you. My sole reason for continuing these exchanges with you is to keep your distortions exposed for those new viewers who might be fooled by your distortions if they were allowed to stand unchallenged.

Since you insist on making a fool of yourself, you have forced me to prove to every one that it is you that are making ridiculous distortions.You just claimed that 80% of the deer that are dying in 2G ,die from causes other than hunting.In 2008 hunters in 2G harvested 3.2 DPSM and if that represented 20% of the total mortality then a total of 16 DPSM died in 2G from the beginning of hunting season.That means that the non-hunting mortality would have to be a ridiculous 13 DPSM. Even during the most severe winters, the PGC hasn't reported a winterkill rate anywhere close to that,but you claim it happens all the time.
So , you took a figure from the doe mortality study,which the PGC admitted did not represent the actual harvest rate, and twisted and distorted it to mean something entirely different that ,made no sense whatsoever.
