Well Oscar, it goes something like this. The total harvest in 1986 tells you little or nothing about the size of the herd and how it was being managed . The buck harvest of 150K shows that the herd was significantly larger in 1986 than it is today. Anybody that knows anything about deer management knows the antlerless harvest is determined by the number of tags allocated and not by the size of the herd.
Therefore, trying to compare total harvests in 1986 and 2008 in order to show hunting today is as good as in 1986 is just a feeble attempt to spin, mislead and deceive. The PGC uses that technique all the time and they manage to fool a lot of hunters like you.
