Default RE: Why I am taxed with thinning does.....

IL....it's only 7+ days.....and I agree that it's low.

Sometimes numbers like that can be skewed depending on time between pics, and location. I can put a cam on the neighbors apple tree, set it to shoot every minute and have 100 pics overnight with just a couple does and fawns chowing down. You won't see a buck there at all. Don't really know why. Then you stick the cam after hunting season, 50 yds back in the woods and you'll get about 80% bucks over does.
Not sure which "numbers" you're speaking of being skewed, rybo. If you're talking about the overall herd numbers.....the low figure of 50-60 came from the wildlife biologist. I think he low-balled me. I think there's 1.5X that many. There's gettin ready to be less.
