Here's just a few stats from the new AWR
% of 1.5 bucks in the harvest in 2001 82%
% of 1.5 bucks in the harvest in 2008 52%
It is really pathetic when a know-it -all like you isn't even smart enough to use the data from the AWR correctly. in 2001 22% of 78% of the buck harvested were 1.5 buck, not 82% as you claimed. Furthermore,before any bucks were saved by ARs the 2.5+ buck harvest was 32% of the buck harvest .
Even more important......
% of 2.5+ bucks in the 2001 harvest 18% Total 36,600
% of 2.4+ bucks in the 2008 harvest 48% Total 59,200 (ALMOST DOUBLE)
Wrong again and another outright lie. In 2001 2.5 buck were 22 % of the harvest and we harvested 44,700 2.5+ buck. But the only valid comparison is to compare the 2002 harvest with the 2008 harvest. In 2002 we harvested 52,900 bucks and they were 32 % of the harvest. In 2008, we harvested 59,200 buck and they were 48% of the harvest. Therefore, ARs only increased the 2.5+ buck by 11% ,which is no where close to a double.
% of doe bred in 2002 93%
% of doe bred in 2008 93%
Yet the bird has claimed multiple times that breeding rates declined
That is both foolish and intentionally deceitful,since the data clearly shows that the breeding rates decreased from 93% in 2002 to 88% in 2007.
