Default RE: PA hunting

"question, in your opinion why do you think we have very few fawns ,if any in clinton county/potter. "

According to pgc data, the embryo counts are some of the best in the state! Problem is, there are too few doe having them! When you have a very low deer density to begin with, it doesnt take nearly as much predation to make a dent. Also, taking more adult does would definately contribute to fewer fawns.

Course if you believe some doomsdayerson here, they'll have you believing its because the doe hasnt eaten in months and her legs wont hold out to allow a buck to mount and breed her due to weakness...
