RE: IMPORTANT!!!!! UPDATE on ALTS POLL< TELL ME WHY !!
I'm behind Alt because his goals are for a healthier herd in balance with the habitat. What he has done so far has a basis in scientific management. He has said that this will be an evolving process and will be adjusted if mistakes are made. He even admits that some mistakes will be made!
Frank has a valid point in that Alt seems to not care much about archery hunters as a group. I don't think he's anti-archery as some in the PGC are but he's not a big ally to us either. That is something we can change by making a concerted effort to be a significant factor in his management plans by killing does in early archery season. I also agree with several of you that we need to start a push for more food plots on OUR gamelands. Many of them seem to be managed more for timber than for food and cover for wildlife. If labor for planting and seed cost are a problem, maybe some type of sharecropping program could work where a local farmer plants and harvests but leaves some standing for the wildlife.
Buck Magnet, I tried several times to email you to respond to your email but cant get it to go. Is there just supposed to be a space between your first and last name? I think Big Country told me he's having the same problem.
