and you assumed that every fawn would be born as a doe (which we know does not happen)
Nope, I didn't assume that at all, ya need to go back and look at the math my friend. I started with 1,000,000 deer, and pretended half were bucks, or 500,000 bucks. Had I assumed the remaining 500,000 doe had twin does then my next set of numbers would have read, 500,000 bucks and 1.5 million does resulting in 5,000,000 deer which I did not, I said 2,000,000 turned into 4,000,000 because of 1,000,000 doe which is half of 2,000,000 had 2 fawns, not 1.5 million having 2 fawns, confused. I thought so.
Now you are correct that I didn't take in account of predation nor still births or vehicle encounters, all that esculates as the numbers grow however, it was for the sake of the numbers.
The rest of your numbers don't add up because this was a response when you said virtually eliminate doe season, so in your numbers you won't have hunters taking any doe, now mind you, I didn't take bucks out of the equation, I realize that, it was for demostration purposes only.
I am impressed with your numbers now run them for another year for us.
