PA Hunter,
I bought my farm in 1988 and we had deer back then. I attended Alt's dog and pony show in 2002 and he said we "Had to shoot does to get a proper buck-to-doe ratio." I advised him when he ran the PA bear program for PGC we had two years of NO bear season, then a 1 day season and a 2 day season and then back to a 3 day bear season. I asked him why not stop archers from shooting bucks for a year or two to restore the ratio. Alt did not answer me because he had a deer decimation policy in the wings, IMO.
