Let me rephrase.
If you will forego the herd dynamics to appease your hunting style.....then you are "part of the problem".
To put it a different way, PT.....if you knew the herd you hunted (SPECIFIC, local herd) had poor buck:doe ratio.....but your state didn't recognize that area, specifically, and allowed you two buck tags and two doe tags......and you filled them all......
Then I would say you were part of the problem.
If you will ONLY trophy hunt in areas that are heavily doe laden.....then you are part of the problem.
MY opinions, only. If you're hunting legally.....then you only have yourself to appease.
Because "the problem" is all speculation,and tends to change every decade or so depending on what the "latest" studies show, I could give a rip about what the "scientists" say ..... I want to put 4 deer in my freezer ..... where you hunt, they would be all doe or a mature buck andthe rest doe .... where I hunt, it very well might be2 yearling bucks and2 nice fat doe ...... and that wouldn't be a "problem"
did THAT answer your question?Ifnot you might need to rephrase yet again ....I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer ...
