The purpose of the original post was to expose a possible alternate agenda for a 2 buck limit in the eastern zone. When I was rail roaded when suggesting the data from the NCWRC's Deer Study shows that the Eastern Zone is doing a better at meeting the NCWRC's stated goals with buck age structure, with the % harvested bucks by age class being better than any other zone in the state. This was less yearling bucks and more in the older age classes harvested. I got no explanation, just a reply " I wrote it, I know what is in it" and another staff agreeing that I was looking at some different data. I would have had the documents with me to back up my claims, if I had thought this is how the NCWRC's professional biologist and staff would have ignored their own data. From the reaction I received, kind of like when a dentist hits a nerve, I knew I hit a nerve and they were silencing me. The data is there for all to see, don't just take my word for it. Look at it yourself. I was not wrong in what I questioned, but they wanted to present it to the other 60+ people there differently. I can not but think that from the reactions I got that there is not another agenda here. Politics at play. I can't help but to think this or I would not have got the reaction I did.
