It pretty easy to realize why DD speaks of 2001's 203,000 buck harvest. its because it was the last harvest before we started the AR/HR scam. Sooooooo....its not ver y difficult to see we can use 2001 for a reference of before AR/HR. Would you like to use 2000? Oh, thats right it was 203,000 also....hmmmm seems like we were doing pretty good before AR/HR. Don't it?
DD must have you flustered if you had trouble fielding that one.
Apparently you do not like anyone pointing out our three year dropping buck harvests and/or pointing out that our hunting today sends tens of thousands of hunters home without a buck of any kind.....let alone a 'bigger' one.
Theres no more snowballing hunters on the "more and bigger buck" lie. They know that misleading statement was, like AR just a carrot to make hunters want to shoot more does so that they can appease conservation groups and big timber(dcnr?) But it ain't providing better hunting, nor any habitat improvment since the herd is (according to the PGC) bigger than ever before ?
So, I guess the PGC will still huddle in the bunker and not put out any herd estimates this year. They will merely crawl to the entrance of the concrete bunker on Elmerton avenue and crack open the steel door a bit and yell out. " THERES STILL TOO MANY DEER EVERYWHERE, SO SHOOT ALL THE DOES YOU CAN".... then the door will creak shut for another long winter.
To all those hunters who were expecting "better hunting", you got (in modern vernacular) Punk'd! hehehe....
