I think that Gary Alt was man before the time. 10 years ago hunters were not as informed about conservation and management. Today every hunter is part of some group NWTF, QDMA, etc. These groups have informed many of the "real hunters" that care about the species they pursue. Some people will never wake up and will therefore be left in the dark.

The reason I think Gary Alt is becoming dry is because many of us are reading Deer and Deer Hunter, Turkey and Turkey Hunting, Quality Deer Management and publications of such which allows us to learn these scientific ideas ourselves. We don't need Gary Alt telling us that we must pass small bucks to have larger rack bucks or that I doe to buck ratio is a little out of whack.

There are many hunting clubs that had restrictions before the PA Game Commission made them law. These clubs are tried to keep there doe numbers down. Many of us are practicing some type of management whether we know it or not. "Let him go so he can grow" "A doe tastes just as good as a buck -- some say better" "You don't eat the horns"

The best thing we can do as hunters is keep learning and trying to help manage and have a positive impact on our wildlife.
