Alt said we would have more and bigger buck than we ever had before in PA and that his plan would balance the herd with the habitat. Neither objective has been met so his plan has failed.
I would have to say that the 2-1/2 and older buck numbers are probably up a good deal - Problem is they are much harder to kill. IMO his plan puts more of these deer in the woods - but they arn't gonna stroll by you like them spikes.
They are out there - Its up to the hunters to go get em!
