Hell25 years ---- is not even up to "newb" status. That is pre-school.
Nope ya just don't get it.
There is no contradiction at all. Although you weren't even very clear on saying "how" it contradicted.
Let's see if we can clear this up in a simple way.
First, you conveniently left out that part about nature designing things that way and us not being able to control genetics.
Your sentence makes no sense:
It wasn't about the AR program for the deer reduction but for their survival of all deer.
WTH does that mean?
If you still don't understand, herd reduction -- it is simple. It is to reduce stress on habitat and through doing that, many other side benefits are realized.
Deer become healthier, since they now have better food sources and more of them. Healthier deer grow bigger and produce better. Fewer does means a more natural sex ratio. A natural sex ratio means more natural breeding and helps reduce stress on bucks.
Hopefully these things are taking place while habitat is recovering and serving some of the other 466 species of wildlife and also setting the stage simply for better conditions all around.
It's to make the larger bucks roam to spread out their genes instead of in one area.
Ah Grasshopper, you are still confused.
"Larger" does not necessarily mean "genetically better." Note my mention of that above, in the post you misquoted.
