And don't forget that because more hunters passed on fawns in 2003 the anterless harvest decreased by 30K and after 4 years of Alt management we have had zero,herd reduction even though that was the primary goal of Alt's plan.

Now just what did Alt do to encourage herd reduction ? Well for the first time he created a protectected class of deer by implementing Ar which prevent 38K buck from being harvested in 2002 . In addition, he ask hunters not to shoot small deer, which if every hunter followed that advice, would remove 46% of the anterless deer from the harvest. In other words he screwed up royaly by protecting more deer from being harvested even though the antrless season was increased by 400% and we have an all time record of over 1M anterless tags being issued.
