Alt couldn't educate the typical hunter because most of them don't get as involved as you and I. A good number of hunters were at his meetings and saw BIG RACK, but they failed to see the trade off or read further into what we needed to accomplish to help the herd.
Now they're screaming that their aren't any deer left. They've forced Alt out of office because they failed to see the whole picture.
I hope the next guy to step up continues with the program and makes the needed changes to make everyone happy. But I doubt that anyone will have enough guts to do what Alt did and ignore the typical hunter for the overall health of the herd.
