RE: kill all deer in PA
Gobbler. BULL!
No biologist would claim such an outrageous thing in the way you typed it.
If you killed every single doe in an area then the young may wander, looking for their mothers.
I’m not going to bother Lenny with such drivel. The last time I bothered him was to provide proof of cougar stats for some idiot who claimed there were cougars all over PA. Posts like this embarrass us enough, I don't need to point them out to him to make it even worse.
You referred to TEXAS. That “is” a state. You didn’t refer to private Texas ranches.
Anybody, anywhere can grow trophy whitetail bucks if they supplemental feed them daily and kill off all the unnecessary does.
It has nothing to do with a state that is bound by law to not provide landowners those abilities unless they are “deer farmers” who purchased the deer and own them and keep them in fenced and controlled circumstances.
No comparison at all!
Road kills “are” included in the figuring of deer mortality, plain and simple.
You may – or may not, notice that L L Rue III in no way suggest protecting does to achieve QDM. He “does” point to killing young bucks as not a good thing.
So, what you have posted is completely in keeping with PA PGC deer management practices.
