Alt and his staff spent a year developing a new computer model and converting the OWDD goals from DPFSM to DPSM. If he had any intention of correcting the misguided OWDD goals for farm areas ,that would have been the time to do it. But, instead he just converted the old deer density goals from DPFSM to DPSM and and continued to ignore the value of farm land and fringe areas.

If the OWDD goals. reflected the true carrying capacity of all the habitat the deer use ,there would be absoluely no need to reduce te herd by 50%.
