Exactly my point. They needed to make 5c and 5b goals as low as they did (in some cases lower than other WMUs) to justify the low goals of the other WMUs they did plan on achieving.
So you are saying the PGC set goals for 5B and 5C so low that they looked like idiots so they could set low goals for 2F and 2G? I don't think that is the case since those goals were the same goals the PGC has been using since 1980, but they were adjusted to account for the change from DPFSM to DPSM.
Again, take it from someone that has spent countless hours in that park the open space is a food source. Not a very nutritious one due to the obvious malnutrition of the deer, but a food source nonetheless. If the PGC wants to say it isn't, they better not tell that to the 1,000s of deer that you see in the open space every night. Don't buy everything the PGC says.
Haven't you figured out by know ,I don't buy much of anything the PGC has to say about deer management. I am just telling you that they only assign habitat value to forested land and ignore all the rest.
