You made the statement not me, prove it. We all know you can not
How come no one cares about the "balance" of the rabbit population??......I have never seen one initiative to further the health of the rabbit herd by not shooting the smaller males. I wonder why that is. There must be a reason.
The tag system were more fair to rabbits atlas. We went for years here in MI shooting nothing but bucks. It has never been that way for rabbits. When I shoot a bunny I have to roll it over to see what I shot. Just think if we shot just male bunnies, holy cow we would have QBM
Then we would have EBM(Ear Bunny management).
If another deer comes along and topples "the man" then so be it........that is nature and he had his turn at the top. You are talking about a very brief stint of when these deer are vulnerable........95% of the rest of the year they are kings. Clipping the alpha male from a herd does nothing but weaken it.
Or before he even has the chance to become the alpha male. What about making the 1.5 bucks carry the load? By natures design they were not suppose to be main breeders. We sure have muck that up in your area. If I recall not a mature deer in 1 sq mile. Like I said there is middle ground and I think we can do it. Is baiting legal in NY?
I agree with first statement.
