RE: Not to beat a dead horse...more on the WDNR
Logs, my reading is just fine, how about yours?...and hey, glad you like my font. <font size=6><font color=orange>Wanted to make sure you were able to read it, this being a "brown" year when it's so hard to see! Even added a little orange this time for safety, too!!</font id=orange></font id=size6>
But in answer to your response. For your contention to have any merit, you should be able to answer the following:
I agree that not all parts of the state are affected equally by snow cover...remember, this is Bill Mytton saying that both were "brown" seasons. So if your contention has something to do with varying snow coverage, what was the snowcover in various parts of the state that led to that record kill in 1990? How did it compare to 2001?
Also, since about 60,000 more deer were harvested in 1990 than in 2001 (both "Brown" years), point me to the url that shows that the population of deer entering the 1990 gun season was higher that the population entering the 2001 season. Or, are you just assuming that was the case because the DNR can't be wrong?
Logs, I'm only asking that the DNR back up their contentions with facts. Nothing more. And that's all I'm asking of you. You can keep whistling in the dark and humming that tune about the great job the DNR does with deer management. That's your opinion and your entitled to it. It would be nice if you had a factual basis for it, but hey, it's your opinion to have. I'm saying that with the bulk of the wildlife management budgets' funding coming from deer licenses, they should be doing a he11 of a lot better. And this hogwash that guys like Mytton put out certainly doesn't inspire any confidence.
