RE: Dr Alt Meetings.......
Ok Ledgen, I had vowed to myself that I would not respond to you again but I will try to answer just one more time and hope it doesn't get you to ranting . If there are fewer does when the rut comes in, only the dominant bucks will get to breed those left. No, I don't , and I suspect Alt doesn't, have a way to weed out inferior does. Natural selection (remember that Darwin guy?) isn't a perfect method but it has worked well over time! We as Pa deer hunters have been short circuting that natural selection somewhat.
As for crossbows, I don't like em in early archery season but am willing to be open minded about their value to cull the does before the rut. But I suspect you don't really support crossbows as much as you love controversy.
By the way, the crossbow reference on the thread where I told the board how proud I was of my kid ( and I'm damn proud of that kid) was absolutely the cheapest of shots. I'm glad he didn't catch your real message.
