uh-oh, I think the light bulb has just come on for BTB.

you have run out of wisdom when you have to reply 'whatever'.

Its Dr. Alt who is hiding and not talking, not any other group. Its Dr. Alt who cannot explain away three years of declining buck harvests. (btw you better hope this years first day there is a hurricane to try and explain away a fourth year of buck harvests lower that when we started the deerscam).

According to alties, this season there SHOULD be a huge leap in buck harvests if there is decent weather on the first day. They claimed that is what kept the harvest down last year, so accordingly if its nice....there should be a big increase. But i wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that increase. []

They said that they would give you a smaller herd, and they are. The part where some hunters as sheepishly fading into the dark of message boards is where the PGC said it would result in an instant improvement in habitat and 'more and bigger bucks'. Whooooooooho.... that was a good one!

But thanks to some sharp hunters like dead deer and others...the scam was pretty quickly pointed out and explained.

Now we are all just left with the smaller herd, less opportunity, declining buck harvests and mediocre deer management.

But on the bright side, there is a LOT less rhetoric coming out of Harrisburg these days...now its just a LOT of lowered expectations.
