What is obvious that don’t know squat about the history of the deer or the habitat that supported those deer in the northern tier back in those better years.
Much of the habitat across the northern was still in the seedling sapling stage into the mid 1940s. The same as the deer numbers and harvests in those northern tier areas didn’t start to decline until the habitat declined.
You can also see how the antler quality started to decline after the habitat declined. By the end of the 1950 both deer numbers and antler quality were headed into a major slump.
It appears both are finally starting to improve after nearly half a century of trying to carry way too many deer. Even the deer are proving that point and proving just how wrong you are.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried, but I'll do my best to set you straight. The herd in the NC counties peaked around 1929 at 45 DPSM. It then crashed and reached a low of around 15 DPSM around 1947. From there it steadily rebounded to over 45 DPSM in the late 70s when a series of harsh winters reduced the herd to around 30 DPSM. From 1980 to to the present the herd has been controlled by the antlerless harvests which reduced the herd in 2G to 10 PS DPSM, even though the habitat could support 30 OWD PSM!!!!!

How about the influx of Gypsy moths that basically whipped out the red oak'sthat made up a very high percentage of mast trees across PA.
Deer must eat in both good mast years and bad.

Your blind hatred prevents you from seeing even the most minuscule aspectsof an ecology that far more complicated than youwill ever be able to perceive.
The blindest of men are those whom refuse to see.

Timber production almost tripled from 1979 to 1985 and In the 90's it was still more than double what it was in 1979. So there is at least twice as much food available now than there was when we had 45 DPSM in 1975.

This appears to be another of your half truths.
Are we talking deer or beavers, deer do not eat 20-40 year old trees.
I remember canoing the Allegheny river and seeing miles of defoliated oak trees,are you saying deer don'tuse the mast crops as forage.

Did timber production go up as you state or did timber dollar values go up?
This appears to be another of your half truths.

I give him credit Bob. Those are some great bucks for the time period they were taken. I also wonder about the blur.
I knew of a guy [dead now]that owned a lot of posted ground and shot bucks like them out of the upstairs bathroom window for decades.
I don't think anybody denied that there were 2-1/2 year old bucks back then. Private property has always played a role.
The big bucks were where you found them.

I'll even say that if they came from Somerset/Fayette rather than Washington Greene wher he lives, that's even better.
Forgive me however for not trusting this joker. Think about it. I don't have a scanner hooked up either so I can understand the picture of a picture blurring things but who crops the hunter out of a photo? With the blurringit would be pretty easy to post the same deer twice
He also tried to slip in a post AR picture and you caught him.
My cynicism with this clown is also much higher ever since he blatantly altered one of my quotes and posted it as well as claiming that I did the same thing to his posts. That goes beyond twisting the truth or interpereting things differently. It was a bold faced lie,so forgive me for not trusting anything this goober posts.
You are right though, he does have a few nice ones in there

I do. I dont wish to have my head copied and pasted onto an ostrich or anything else for that matter, and considering whom Im talking with at the moment, that should be self explanatory. Most childish person on any internet board Ive ever posted. Id also rather not be on the pgc "black list" along with the usp crew.
"With the blurringit would be pretty easy to post the same deer twice "
None of the bucks are even close to looking alike.
"He also tried to slip in a post AR picture and you caught him."
Didnt try to slip in anything. If yoiu couldnt figure out thatthe headline dad "STILL" gets lucky once in awhiledidnt tell you I meant it was a very recent photo, thats your problem.
"My cynicism with this clown is also much higher ever since he blatantly altered one of my quotes and posted it "'
Your a blatant liar. I altered one of your posts awhile back in a quote, AND SAID I WAS DOING IT to show how easily it can be done and how easily YOU HAD ALTERED ONE OF MINE!! So dont act like there was ANY deception at all involved on my part. Though Id say my track record is pretty pristine if after months now, all you can point to is that one false allegation.[:'(]
"That goes beyond twisting the truth or interpereting things differently. It was a bold faced lie,so forgive me for not trusting anything this goober posts. "
Ive never lied on a post here, you always ask for proof, yet the proof is never good enough, even though it is PROOF each and every time...but you on the other hand have been caught BLATANTLY lying several times completely red-handed...
I dont know when you are gonna learn to quit making yourself look like a complete idiot and a beligerant fool who does nothing but argue and insult. Id say you should either give the thumbs up to just about anything I post or avoid my and bb's posts all together if the goal isnt to look like a complete fool.
Btw, dont being trying to twist things up AGAIN. You'll no doubt in the future attempt to misquote me to make ME look like Im lying just to try to even the score since youve undeniabley been caught dozens of times... I said the 70's pics of DADS were from the mountains... The newer pics WERE from 2A areas. The biggest, was 140's... Good enough for me ANYWHERE in Pa.3 of the others were WELL over 200 lb on the hoof. The pic of dads last bow buck was 180lb dressed. The pic of mine where I stated "Poked a hole in in 90's" weighed 203 lbs DRESSED. And my other pic had a buck just over 180 dressed.
So much for those starving 2A bucks!(LOL)(LOL) .....Course you wouldnt know about any of that since your successes have been limited at best and you have to go out of state (even though you are in the best wmu in the state) (LOL)

As for claiming I lied anywhere else, you have squat. Once I mistakenly attributed a quote to you that may have actually been from another. It was part of one of your posts and not identified as a quote. I recanted whenit was discovered. A mistake recanted is not a lie. Every other lie you claim boils down to difference of opinion which is 99% of what you post.

Maybe I could just paste this Cornelius photo on the pics, you kind of strike me as the Roddy Macdowell type...
Nah! You might get too frustrated and try and rip someones face off

"Your claiming I altered your quote was a flat out lie and even generated a warning from a mod. It's all there. "
Yeah. Your right. I said you altered mine. I altered yours (and said so in the post) and the mod said "NO EDITING QUOTES" (LOL) So your point is???
"As for claiming I lied anywhere else, you have squat. Once I mistakenly attributed a quote to you that may have actually been from another."
AND....SWORE UP ANDDOWN called ME a liar continually because of it and hurledinsults....UNTIL I posted the link to your nonsensical lie. And youve also been caught UMPTEEN other times by myself as well as bb.
"It was part of one of your posts and not identified as a quote. I recanted whenit was discovered. "
You didnt recant or discover. I PROVED you lied.
"Ohboo hoo,your excuse for cutting out the hunters is pretty lame. Scared of the PGC eh? LOL LOL"
Not really. But forgive me for not wishing to help them in their deer slaughter damage control efforts. Theyve screwed things up quite nicely WITHOUT my help, thanks. Also,I explained myself. As i said, not gonna give you ammo to fuel your childish bs. Dont like it? Tough chit. It is what it is.

So's yer mamma but I dont post an ape head on her body.
"Nah! You might get too frustrated and try and rip someones face off!"
As I told you before, you have nothing to fear, I dont pick onthe disabledwith borderline dimentia, nuerological disfunction andbad tickers.
See why I didnt want to post my "Proof"? You ask for it, then when its provided you act like an even bigger arse out of embarrassment frustration and shame.
