Actually what you described is Alt's theory ,not mine . But, you didn't quite get the terminology right. For example, you forgot that before the concurrent season we were all buck hunters for the two weeks of rifle season ,since only antlered bucks were legal. However, Alt didn't get hunters to shoot more doe by making bucks scare, he just made many of them illegal to harvest.
There is only one problem in this applying to "buck hunters"...
WE don't shoot does and WE won't shoot BB, so it isn't US, the buck hunters , that decimated the herd.
Once again you have you terminology wrong. Instead of buck hunters you should have said rack hunters or trophy hunters. But , you did make a valid point. The rack hunters and archers are not the ones that decimated the herd , they are the ones that created the problem Alt is trying to solve and has failed miserably because he doesn't understand the mentality of hunters .
Archers and trophy hunters have created the overpopulation problem we have today because they refused to do their part in managing the herd. Instead they critisize those who harvest BB in order to reduce the herd because it makes it harder for them to harvest their trophy. Now that is a very selfish and self centered position that can no longer be tolerated.
