RE: Gary Alt (A Man With the "Right" Plan)
I think it's too early to say the program "works for the best" , time will tell.
From what I see , he has a different agenda than his supporters. The majority (if not all) of his supporters , like his plan because it will increase your odds of seeing quality bucks.
His agenda is aimed at decreasing the deer herd.(<big fat period)
I'm guessing that Pa was comparable to Wi , say 20 or 30 years ago , where you could shoot a buck only (one) unless you were lucky enough to draw a doe tag<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>
If I'm correct , this was done for many years to increase the deer herd.
Now , we're faced with over population , so their doing the exact opposite of 20 years ago.
At what point do you think they'll stop?
Maybe when a hunter can go out and be lucky to see a couple deer per season , like 30 years ago.
When you start forcing people to shoot countless amounts of does (or nub bucks) every season(for those who want the meat) , eventually it may have a drastic effect on the entire deer herd. All it would take , would be a record doe harvest for a couple years and throw in a harsh winter kill and everyone will be screaming at Gary Alt.
It's just a possibility , and I hope I'm wrong.
