Good info GMMAT, we appreciate it. Answers a lot of questions that I had myself. Just a question on one thing you said...
OK.....so let's say you DO have too many does for your area....OR....your buck:doe ratio is out of whack (these are the issues that face a LOT of guys who post here). I disagree on only taking the most mature animals from the herd. I think you'd be better served in taking out does from across the age spectrum. Some bios back this....but it's far from being set in stone (as the best method).
Why is this?Wouldthis affect the competition for does in estrous, or would it bring a better balance age-wise, or...?
