Default RE: Did PA's deer managment need to change?

You can argue all day about this whole mess.Some areas have too many deer while have very few.Some people are seeing bigger bucks,some are hardly seeing any.That crap has been going on for as long as I can remember.The difference today is that we have definable goals that Alt has set.While setting these goals,Alt also made some gutsy predictions.No Alt supporter has yet to answer any of my questions.Please tell me how the herd has not been reduced when alt said we had an 8% reduction in 2001 followed by two of the biggest antlerless harvests in history?Also,please explain how we will have more and bigger bucks when the herd is reduced to below 15 dpsm?This is important guys because this is the final goal.Mathematically,how can it happen.It can't.There is no possible way.Maybe some of you don't believe it will happen.Maybe some of you won't let it happen on your property.How many of you will?How many here are willing to take the herd down to those levels?Please,for the last time just tell me how we will have more and bigger bucks under these conditions.Last,for you habitat experts,explain why Cameron county has been below it's deer density goals for over ten years and there is still no sign of the habitat recovering.How long will it take?If you can't answer these questions,how can you possibly support this program?
