You bet your arse it isn't far down the road. Someone else mentioned , he understood that more does need to be killed to maintain the same herd level<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>
Do you think Gary Alt is doing this to maintain the same herd level? It couldn't be further from the truth! Like I said before his main agenda (along with many other states , including Wi) is to drastically reduce the herd level. They weren't getting the doe harvest they wanted to reduce the herd numbers , so walla! How can we push hunters to harvest more does? By forcing them to let younger bucks walk. His plan or agenda had nothing to do with creating monster bucks , he just sold it that way and alot of hunters are foolish enough to buy it.
I'd be willing to bet that next year Pa will have a record buck harvest , and the following year hunters will be forced to shoot a doe (maybe two) before harvesting a buck.

I'm not sure how to read that quote, are you for or against?

IMHO, what's wrong with that? We are only now starting to do things that many top quality deer management private areas like Willow Point are doing and they have the best of all worlds. A healthy deer population, adequate buck to doe ratios, large bodied, healthy, heavy antlered bucks, good fawn production...etc

What PA is now finally starting to do is what all these areas have been doing for a long time. Gary Alt isn't pulling this stuff from a hat, it's been implemented and working many places.
