I havent read all the posts but Ill throw in my 2 cents...Why does male only harvest work for turkeys but not for deer? In both species the males fight for dominance and extablish a pecking order. the males also mate with multiple females. Why does it work so well for one species and not the other?
I would think it has everything to do with the carrying capicity of the land.
I don't believe birds will over graze a particular piece of land.
They just fly some where else.
If the animals in question don't over burden their food sources then.
More hens= More Turkeys = More gobblers. Everybody loves turkeys, so it is a good thing.
The flock basically grows out of control.
And flies to new territory as needed.
Something deer would have a hard time with.
