Oh and as for some evidence that Alts plan is working, some just arrived at my door Monday. Here are some stats from the latest issue of Field and Stream....
Winter 2002 before AR..... 2% of deer captured for the buck study were adult bucks, BB's to adult bucks were 15 to 1 and adult does to adult bucks were 14 to 1
Winter 2004 after just 2 years of AR...... 13% of deer captured were adult bucks, BB's to adult bucks were 2 to 1 and adult does to adult bucks were 2 to 1
BT, what was the number of antlered bucks harvested in 2001 and 2003? Also, what was the number of antlerless deer taken in those seasons? I guess I'm asking if the buck harvest increased or decreased from 2001 to 2003, and same for antlerless harvests. I looked on the PGC web site but could not find the actual numbers.
