Because he obviously didnt have the stomach to finish the job. If he wasnt up to it he never should have started. I really have no idea where deer management would be right now if he were here. No matter whether you agree or disagree in retrospect with what Alt did, he did seem to weild enough clout to get the PGC to move quickly and decisively. Something that was a new concept for the BOC then and seems to have faded away since he left. (except for the rush to include the xbow but that was an isolated lame duck travesty)

His stated reason for leaving was a cop out. He shot his credibility right then right there. He knew what he signed on for and he should have either not taken the job or he should have seen it through.
