I know this doesn't answer your question , but here is an interesting quote from DR. Rosenberry.
For example, if asked what has happened to deer populations during the last 10 years," two different, but correct answers could be given. If asked about statewide deer populations, the answer would be that the population has increased from about 1,200,000 in 1990 to about 1,500,000 in 2000.
All of that increase occurred from 1998 to 2000,when the PGC claimed the herd increased by 30% due to low anterless harvests in 98 and 1999 when the avg.anterless harvest was 190K.
The harvests between 1989 and 1997 kept the herd stable. Two years of low anterless harvests resulted in a 30% increase and now even with 1 M tags and the concurrent seasons , the herd is still increasing by 1.6% a year . Therefore Alt's plan has failed to reduce the herd or even keep it stable .
You may disagre if you like, but those are the facts.
