So lets take the extremes on both ends out of the arguement.

Obviously there are folks going out and finding plenty of deer in darn good numbers in places we all could go to.
If you take out the extremes you are left with the average middle aged hunter who hunts for recreation and doesn't want to turn it into another job. They hunt their favorite area which always had reasonable numbers of deer until the latest round of extreme HR. Those areas have the carrying capacity to support many more deer and the only reason there are less deer there is because the PGC issued enough tags to result in an over kill which is exactly what Alt wanted.

Furthermore , we could not all go to the areas with good numbers of deer and harvest the number of deer Doug harvests. If we did the herd in those areas would be decimated and the result would be much lower harvests in the future. You think you are providing a simple solution to the problems created by HR but in reality you not providing a rational solution since there is none for the average hunter.
