Actually it's very simple without a proper doe harvest the trickle down effect is that there is less habitat, less food and more does to be bred. The whole point of combining AR's with an increased doe harvest is to improve the gene pool, not dilute it even further. Now tell me how proper nutrition has no effect on a deer's development.
That is only true if there were too many does to begin with. In PA our adult breeding B/D ratio was 1:2 before ARs were implemented and implementing ARs and reducing the herd did nothing to improve breeding rates or recruitment.
