RE: PA deer Quizz
well not being from PA i prob don't have much place in this i just know that when i went through PA like 5 or 6 years ago and then went through it again last week on my way to and from ohio i saw far less deer, but i think that you guys should take it easy and just look at both sides. just an outsider opinion

But the herd was just as healthy before HR as it is now,at least according to the PGC stats.

But your answer was wrong and that is why I corrected it, by pointing out the herd was at a healthy level before HR began. There may have too many deer to satisfy certain special interest groups like the timber industry,DCNR and the Audubon, but the herd was healthy and below the MSY carrying capacity of the habitat.

Here is question 3#.
True or false? Antler restrictions hurt the genetics of Pennsylvania's deer herd.
My question is ,how will we know when the PGC refuses to release the results of their annual buck survey?

Can you provide anything to support that claim? Breeding rates and productivity did not increase where the herd was reduced the most and statewide breeding rates and productivity decreased instead of increasing.
