But, clearly -- this is a result of Dr. Alt and his management practices. Say all you want; you NEVER saw so much success (and yes, I'm determining success by the quality of bucks being taken now) coming from PA before
I have to agree with you too. Say what you wantthe plan is working.

I've refrained from writing this on any of the guys' success threads, as I don't want the volatility of the subject to detract from the joy the guys are basking in...

Amen brother! I don't know how anyone could argue that Dr. Alt's plans aren't having a positive effect.It's just too bad those old schoolers were so mad they didn't see 40 does and a spike that they drove him out.

I must admit... I opened this thread back up after being gone for most of the afternoon with some trepidation.

I was/am VERY pleasantly surprised to see the affirmations posted after what I wrote; it's just another example of why I think HNI has some of the classiest and best bowhunters on the net hanging out here... And not just because you agreed with me, but because you agreed with the principle.
