Default RE: Managing Herds......

Targeting does to improve hunting quality is pure myth from what I have seen...........buck:doe ratio is borderline meaningless IMO.
Atlas...I'd like for you to expound on this. I honestly value your opinions....but this goes against everything I've heard and read. I'm not saying your logic is flawed.....I'd just like to hear more about why you feel this way.

In one way.....I think you're probably right (if I put my thinking cap on). Carrying capacity is carrying capacity. the land doesn't care if it carries 40 bucks or 40 does. It's just "deer" to the land. But "hunting quality" to many means better "quality" animals....(OK....bucks). Is this where you have a rub with the mindset?

Thanks.
