RE: NY and general NE mild winter
No jinx here!
I'm still taking the wait and see approach, but I feel assured that many of the yearling/fawn mortality rates relating to weather/starvationwill be considerably less. The impact of the DEC with DMP's are another thing to consider on the same end result.
Biologically speaking, I hope the fawn-drop period is tolerable. If that is the case, I think we'll be set for a good rebound.
