Default RE: Pa. Deer #'s down! Duhhhhhhh!!!!

In 2001 the PGC said that the harvest of 283 K anterless deer and 203K buck reduced the OWDD by 8%. Therefore ,it is reasonable to conclude that the 2002 harvest of 352 K anterless deer reduced the OWDD by more than 8%. Then, since the herd had been reduced by 16% in two years, it would be logical to conclude that the anterless harvest of 323k anterless would reduce the OWDD by more than 8%. then in 2004 the anterless harvest of 284K should have reduced the smaller herd by more than 8%.

Therefore, it appears that the herd has been reduced by more than 32% since 2001, while the PGC claims it has increased.

Can any Alt supporter provide one bit of data that shows the herd has not benn reduced by more than 32%?
