In 1994 if you ask the average hunter in the UP if their herd was healthy; they would have said yes.
Can you prove this statement??
Now we now know it was way over populated. In 95-96 +350,000 deer dead. Man that sounds healthy[&:]
You said they died in the winter............can you prove that if you had fewer deer that the same number would not have died??.......or that if they had only shot fewer young bucks it could have been avoided??
A tough winter is a tough winter.............animals die, mother nature is cold hearted. That's life. Blaming it on an "unhealthy" herd is another example of bending the truth in a self serving manner IMO.
BTW Bigger deer = better health
If you are comparing the same deer (age) then yes (to a degree).........simply saying the deer were bigger is meaningless because they were obviously older as well..........and age=extra lbs.
Would you say a 700 lb man is healthier then a 180 lb man (same height and age) ??
My name is Germ and I like big bucks
Then
Germ should do everything he can to go get one...........and not expect or insist that everyone else help
Germ accomplish a goal that is
Germ's goal.
And you call others selfish
Wanting to preserve your freedom to hunt as you wish is selfish??
