Yes,DCNR blackmailed the PGC because they demanded less deer.It's no secret.It was actually posted on the first paragraph of their deer management plan.No one needed a phony conspiracy theorist to make more out of it than there was.Alot of groups supported the need to have less deer because that's exactly what was needed.
The only ones that label Eveland's presentation as a phony conspiracy theory are those that were duped by Alt's prediction of doom and gloom if the herd was reduced to the previous DD goals. Now, even though his claims and predictions have been proven to be false ,guys like you and RSB are still defending a plan that resulted in the loss of over 200K deer hunters from 2000 to 2008 and produced the lowest buck harvests in over 40 years.
Would you please explain how our herd increased for 20 years from 1980 to 2000, when the habitat had been over browsed since 1930?
