Can someone tell me why a herd made up of 500,000 deer is "healthier" at 250,000 bucks and 250,000 does then it is at 400,000 does and 100,000 bucks??
Well it's not that simple

If the habitat can support 500,000 deer than one is not more healthier than the other.
BTW a 1:1 ratio is not healthy either, Kroll wrote a great article on that myth

A 1:1 herd from what i read would be way stressed out during breeding season, not healthy[8D]

What is the make up of 100,000 bucks?
