So you agree that breeding rates have not deteriorated as you once claimed
Get real!! I said there was no increase in breeding rates compared to 2002. I did not say that breeding rates didn't decrease.
While it's true that no one had to register before now,
That is the only point I was making. the PGC wanted to keep track of who was reading the AWRs.
[QUOTE]Typical bluebird distortion. Fawns not born are fawns not recruited. While other factors besides birth rates also affect recruitment, birth rates are a major component

The discussion was about the increase in breeding rates, not about an increase or decrease in recruitment.
I know exactly where you're headed with this. Not gonna take the bait. Why don't you tell us your answer and then I'll expose the little distortion game your planning on this one. (hint: it's not 5 but it's not 15 either LOL)
That is your typical tactic when you can't answer the question. A 15 % increase in the breeding rate would have resulted in 103% breeding rate in 2008. You really don't have a clue,do you?
