Imagine my surprize this morning when opening THE MORNING CALL newspaper to Sec B pg 7. To see Alt holding a big rack above his head. For all to see " as a prime example of just what a Lehigh co. , Pa buck will become in just 3-4 yrs..." ( his words). and never mentioning where that buck was killed. See I went to the sport show lastnight. My fourth time to hear Alt speak. His topic remains the same but his half truths still ring clear. the half truth in this case was the rack he is seen holding in the paper. It was killed in Lehigh co alright..but that's where the whole truth ends. It was killed by an aquaintance of mine. that hunts a large section of private ground that bordes the Trexler game preserve. This guy has sole hunting rights to this place. I'm not jealous of that. i envy him for it.And he did kill that buck with a bow this past season there.
But I ask you as I did Alt. Is this a prime example of the caliber of buck that 99.99% of the hunters will get to hunt in the future under his QDM plan and AR? No it is not. Why? Because that first rack that spike or Y gets with 3 or more points to a side will get him killed. The same % of bucks will be killed when they get that first scrubby rack as get killed now as spikes and Y. all we did was let them get thier first rack. Now I ask again. Is it right for Alt to hold up a rack like the one he has in the paper and use it to sell his QDM plan, while saying "it is not fair to call these programs trophy deer mamagement programs" ( his words)?
