RE: Alt on Penna. Outdoor Life
Allow my perception:
1> I perceive I don't give a fig about antler restriction. Let's make it four points a side, for all I care.
2> I perceive I would like to see, and to have a reasonable chance to harvest a deer.
3> I perceive I don't want to drive four hours across state to the southwest, where deer density charts show the most deer/sq mile, and where I perceive most of Alt's supporters reside or hunt (on leased land).
4> I perceive that doe licenses are given out willy-nilly by the PGC, giving us the perception that we are overrun with deer everywhere in this state.
5> I perceive that three years (or 4?) of data compilation is long enough, coupled with PGC warden observations, to accurately determine deer numbers, and to (pick one or more answers) 1. Compress the WMU's to at least county size, or smaller; 2. Limit the number of hunters on sgl's and state forests through a lottery; 3. Limit the doe tags in overhunted areas.
6> I perceive I would like to know, finally, just who paid for this state's "deer survey", upon which Dr Alt bases his claims.
