RE: Whats wrong with the gamelands?
I make my own success by hunting where deer should actually be.I don't expect an even number of deer spread out accross the landscape.That's a pretty simple concept that obviously escapes you.
You base your support of the plan on your own success while I base my critique of the plan on the success rate for all hunters and because the plan it is not based on the best science available.

In 2000 breeding rates were higher ,productivity was high and recruitment was much higher in 2000 than in 2007. Therefore, based on the PGC criteria for determining herd health, the herd was healthier when we had 1.6M PSD.

Just how many time has your alter ego stated that we never had 1.6 million deer.
BTW,everyone is entitled to their opinion ,even if tey are dead wrong like you.

I have less time to hunt than the vast majority of people,especially those with camps.Most people with camps up here use vacation time to hunt.I don't.The only days I take off to hunt all year is the first day of bear and the first day of deer.If I can do it,anyone else should be able to as well.

Your spinning is going around in circles.On numerous occassions I've herd you say that you figured the breeding rates were declining because you felt that the felt the older age does where getting shot.Now,when it's convenient to use the PGC stats to your advatage,you say the herd is unhealthy.
It's impossible and you know it.The numbers show what they show because the sample size is statistically insignificant.

The PGC established the criteria for determining herd health, not me. What criteria would you suggest the PGC use for determining herd health and how would you suggest they collect enough data to determine herd health?

DougE,to make the statement that "if I can do it everybody should be able to " is about as dumb a statement as you ever made.It's like saying if I can hit a golf ball 300 yards,everybody should be able to.To make comparisons with your own abilities to a million other hunter in this state is assinine at best !
