doughboy I come here for the same reason you do. never claimed those biologist boys don't love thier jobs but I do claim if they are responsible for a WMU then they should be there and at the very least have a look for themselves.
I have yet to hear anyone give a good reason why we went from 29DSM to so few today while the habitat remained the same or IMPROVED in the last 30 yrs in the same area. There is more timbering going on now and the last 5 yrs in 3A than at anytime in the last 30 yrs. when do deer herds prosper the best??? right after timbering ,hmmmmm isn't it odd that Alt says the habitat can't support them now? When one of those biologist boys of yours can give a good answer to that then I'll shut up! Till then you're stuck with my opinions as I'm with yours
This all takes place when the PGC acknowledges over crowding of hunters on public land an pleads with landowners to leave their lands unposted. I can tell you this MOST of 3A is now posted because of this and it is the first year it has EVER BEEN. doesn't that tell you alittle about how the landownerSSSS feel???? It SHOULD!!!!!!!!!
