Sonny, our agency did explain the biology aspects of the program. The Biologist went all around the state putting on programs in big venues for months to explain why it was necessary to reduce the herd and protect young bucks but all many in the audience saw was the racks from 5 and 6 year old deer compared to 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old deer that he held up and never heard the reasons for the program and they came away believing it was a trophy buck program. It is one of the faults of human nature to hear and see what you want to hear and see. I had an old WCO friend who use to say," I know you think you understand what you thought I said, however I am not sure what you heard was what I meant". That hits the mark on the money in our deer program change.
