For the first time in a long time you are right.
What's with the personal attack? You haven't even been around here for a long time!
it will be hard to convince hunters we have as many deer as we did in 2001 when we harvested 203 K buck.
203k was a record high buck harvest. Why do you constantly use that figure to make your claims? 60k hunters didn't get a buck? Not really, maybe from highest harvest ever to lowest harvest under AR. What's the average buck harvest for the past ten years? Doe?
A note about the PGC's numbers. I personally don't believe the herd prediction. HR is working in my area and most areas across the state it's working too. I don't like the numbers and I don't believe them, but we don't have anything else to go by. I base my opinion of these numbers on my personal sightings over the years. This year I've seen more bucks than in any other year. I've also seen less doe than any other year. Over the summer my sightings have shown me a 1:2 B
ratio and most does have 1 fawn. Some, of course, have twins....it's not the norm though. I have been seeing an increase in twin fawns as of late though.
