Funny that is what UP guys said to 350,000+ deer in the winter of 95 and 96 when they all straved to death, but they looked healthy[&:] If you ask any hunter things were great
Nature taking it's course...........I'm ok with that. Who's to say that number would have been any different if you had only shot fewer young bucks?
QDM is not just about bucks, just bigger ones
Does Atlas think Does
That was not the issue, it was not shooting the does. Man you have bucks on the mind
The deer eating themselves out of there winter yarding areas was the real issue. We found TB and band feeding deer, now the over populated(but healthy) deer herd was on it's own.
Don't dimissed management pratice based on your fears and bias. Look at the big picture, we should have here. Look past the yahoos and do what is best for your area and local deer herd.
I believe there is middle ground Atlas, we just need to put down are bias and work together.
For example a 3 point MARS(one side)means in the last 20 years you would have not shot 1 deer. Is that correct?
