His first actual reason is to promote a natural deer herd with a natural buck doe ratio
Another reason Dr Kroll cites is that studies have shown that the non hunting population is only liley to support hunting if hunting is an important component in healthy deer management. AR with a proper doe harvest promotes that "natural herd"
But you forget that Kroll also stated that a natural B/D ratio was 1:2 ,which is what we had in PA before ARs. Furthermore, nothing Kroll stated indicated ARs would result in a healthier herd.
Nothing but point out that Dr Demariis assumed that spike bucks are genetically inferior and then go on to point out the evidence that genetic tendencies cant be determined by antler size of yearing bucks
But, Dr. Demarais did not say or assume spikes were inferior ,so was Kroll lying about Dr. Demarais position?
