Remember , you ask for it.
I guess or bean counter will chime in next with all the "facts and figures" to prove that this was simply an abberation in spite of all the harm Gary Alt has done
Prior to AR there were always a few monster buck harvested every year. But, if that buck was in fact the product of AR ,here is the price the other hunters of PA paid in order for that one hunter could harvest a trophy. In 2002 the buck harvest was reduced by 38K due to AR and in 2003 it was reduced by 61K which is a grand total of 99K buck that weren't harvested in order that one hunter could harvest that trophy.
The fact is that in 2003 AR only increased the number of 8+ pt. buck harvested by 4,100. That is a lousey return for preventing 38K hunters from harvesting a buck in 2002. Furthermore, it prevented hunters from reducing the herd by 5%/yr. as Alt claimed was necessary. So in order to satisfy a few trophy hunters 99K other hunters paid the price and the herd hasn't been decreased by even 1% since Alt was appointed and in fact it has increased ,at least according to the PGC.
