I wont respond about 3c because I dont know the area!
My whole point all along here is that THIS IS ALTS JOB! He is the professional here and his history deserves an honest try.
The only argument I've heard from the pro Alt guys is that they're still seeing tons of deer.Well if that's the case,Alt's paln is failing and they're not deeing the true results of this experiment.
Cmon Doug, you guys claim there are too few deer some places and say the plan aint working then you turn around say there's too many somewhere else and it still aint working. I say its not working 100% yet!
ALT SAID IT WASN"T GOING TO HAPPEN INSTANTLY!!!
I'm also not saying I don't have reservations about some of the low OWDD goals. I do recognize that there are areas, 2F for instance, that have had too many deer for far too long and probably need to be knocked down a bit more to let the habitat begin to recover.
We live in a fast food world. Everyone expects instant results these days.
Give the profram a chance to work and then criticize where it doesn't. I still maintain that that is exactly what other professional wildlife managers are doing. I'm just happy that we have a guy with the nads big enough to institute a plan that his peers support but don't themselves have the courage to implement.
