Really! Over the past five years the 2G hunters have only harvested an average of 4.00 deer (both bucks and does) per square mile.
If you ask the hunters of unit 2G the vast majority of them will tell you that the deer has been reduced more the four deer per square in that unit. So, if you are saying that the recruitment hasn’t been less than the non hunting mortality are you then calling all of those 2G hunters and your USP buddies liars when they claim the deer numbers have dropped to almost nothing in 2G?
If non-hunting mortality equaled recruitment for 5 years ,then the harvest of 4 DPSM over 5 years would have reduced the OWDD by 20 DPSM.
Try again!!!
