And NO ONE cares about herd "balance"........unless you are a hunter that wants to see and kill more larger racked bucks without changing what you do personally.
That is a false statement, I ask can you prove it? I know plenty guys who care, and do not shoot big rack deer. They hunt the UP of MI and seen what happen when the deer herd was managed poorly by our DNR.
Deer yards destroyed, Populations went way down below carring capacity. These guys could careless about racks. They just want to enjoy hunting again. It all happen because the population got way to high.
I care and I will try to shoot big racks here in MI regardless of what happens. I will still whack does as needed to help our area. If I did not care I would never shoot a doe Atlas. Every time I shoot one my chances of shooting a mature deer goes down.
I can only speak about MI.
We have a camp thatwants to see deer and lots of them. They care about nothing more than seeing deer. If they had it their way a doe tag would not be issued. We have three camps, one about QDM(big racks), TDM(Tradional DeerManagement - Quantity). The guys who want to enojoy hunting and do what is best for the herd. They may shoot big racks and they may not.
Not really sure I get what you are asking.........because they are so run down from chasing?? If so then they are certainly still the healthiest and strongest.........they are just a little winded that's all
really? So if you ran around for 2 weeks and lost atleast 30% of your weight, and sleep and eatvery little you would be as healthy as me who did not? Lets not forget trying to beat up the guy who is after your harem. I would think you would be a little more than winded
I forgot you had lots of sex also
