Therefore,it doesn't take a brainiac to conclude that more tags and longer seasons for specific areas mean that those areas are being managed for less deer.
It is perfectly obvious that the DCNR is attempting to manage those areas for less deer. It is also perfectly obvious that DMAP tags would have no impact if the entire herd had not been reduced. The harvest rate in DMAP areas has been less than 2 DPSM of DMAP land over the past 3 years. That rate of harvest would have been less than recruitment so the herd would have increased.
That's funny,you've been claiming for years that it takes a very low harvest to have an effect on a herd as small as most state forests have.
You just made that up. I have never made that claim!! You really are getting desperate.
