This- in a state that has about an 8;1 doe to buck ratio (and that's a conservative estimate).
I don't see how that's even possible.
Jeff,
Believe me- it's possible.
- We have an ocean that borders 2/5th's of our state's total boundaries
(so they ain't leaving or coming in that way).
- The eastern 1/3 of our state is DENSELY populated
(so no hunting allowed whatsoever in ALOT of these cities/towns).
- 1/2 of our northern border is shared with a state (VT)that, for the most part,doesn't allow does to be taken
(so does coming in from VT only add to our doe population).
- We have the CT River dividing the western-most 1/3rd of the state from the eastern-most 2/3rd's
(this significantly keeps alot of the does on the side of the river which is substantially more densely populated & where hunting isn't allowed).
Combined withyears & yearsof theabove-mentioned "strict doe-taking limits", what do the think the result would be?
