Here is another whopper told by another DR. , David deClasta talking about the results from the QDMA Cooperative at Kinzua.
Fawn recruitment (34%) was an
improvement over 2004 but still below target level. Buck:doe ratio in 2005 (1 buck:4.7 does)
was much improved over previous years and close to goal.
After reducing the herd by 48%, and implementing ARs, deClasta is still claiming that the B/D ratio is 1:4.7 which is next to impossible. The statewide average B/D ratio before herd reduction and ARs in PA was 1:2.1.
