What is really unfortunate is that most of you don't have any idea how bogus the PGC numbers are. The PGC does nothing scientific to get real numbers. Contrary to their formula spiel they do not check processors to the extent necessary [if at all] to get supporting information to come up with kill figures. They do not have the field data, but the all-knowing Alt knows, he absolutely knows, that we must reduce the deer statewide.

The October gun barrage is necessary to lessen the doe numbers so that because of the unbalanced herd there isn't the late breeding problem. His fawn study last year proved that late breeding is not a problem. READ THE RESULTS ON THE PGC WEBSITE YOURSELF. But you want to know whose fault it is that there is an unbalanced herd? It's your's, Mr. and Mrs. Bowhunting Person, because you didn't shoot the does. That is just plain hoey. And besides, the archery season was never, ever thought of as a deer management arm. Rifles in the gun season (read: doe season) was the method.

All you people who believe the PGC and their bogus figures have nothing in common with the pursuit of truth. My hat is off to the PGC. They have many of you not seeing deer and admitting that you're blind, stupid or worse. It is really a shame.
