Default RE: PA BB Harvests

You proved us right in that massive AL harvests are necessary to control the herd and not something to bellyache about when it suits you and then support when it suits you
I don't have a problem with the high anterless harvests ,but apparently you do ,because those high anterless harvests result in high BB harvests which you don't like. Then when we do protect more fawns we harvest more adult doe which means fewer BB, which you don't like .

History shows that those numbers of successfull buck hunters cannot be consistantly maintained and were an abberation of the norm in the first place.
That is not what the history of our herd has shown. Buck harvests have been higher than last years harvest since 1986. So for 17 years the herd has produced larger buck harvests than the buck harvest in 2003, after just two years of AR.
