well for you guys in favor of Alts so call accomplishments, you either hunt private land where you could always control the herds in your area, and still have plenty of deer running around, that noone else dare hunt, or you thought Hitler was a great man tooo.
boozer, I am not sure who made you the king of deer hunting ethics, but your attacks on private land hunters are ridiculous! Seems as though it is based more on jealousy! Yes, there are people in PA who have large chunks of private land that they can set-up management plans on, but to say that all private land hunters have it this way is ridiculous. Most guys who hunt private land around here are hunting with others that they don't even know. The big areas to hunt around here are usually large farms and the farmers allow all hunters access on their property! Then your little part about Hitler has to be the most ridiculous thing I have read. I think that my 5 year old nephew has more intelligence than that!
deadeer,
It took time for the deer herd in certain areas to get low, and it needs to take time to be fixed. Spending 5 years lowering the deer herd in these areas, then drastically increasing it in one year could have bad results! Also, you mentioned that AR will leave more mature bucks that will be killed to non-hunting mortality, but this is the same thing for does also. Bucks aren't the only deer getting hit on the roads!
