"If hunters were reluctant to shoot collared deer for whatever reason, it would result in lower than expected harvest mortality and as a result the study would be flawed no matter when it was conducted. "
Exactly.
Exactly.

I fail to see how trying to make a research project more accurate can be a bad thing unless someone with an agenda has worries as to what the outcome will do to that agenda.

No one said it was a bad thing that they were trying to improve the accuracy of the study. But my question is how the results will be used to improve deer management, when they claim antlerless allocations are based on herd health and forest health rather than the number of deer in each WMU or the number of deer needed to keep the herd stable?

How can you estimate the number of tags that are required to add to,reduce or maintain the herd with no idea the number of tags that are required to achieve you set goals.?[&:]

The PGC is attempting to obtain better information. Do you agree with that or not?
