To get back on topic

It's both interesting and relevant to note that half of the adult doe mortality study was done in the Quehanna wild area, the samearea as half of the fawn mortality study.

This is the area with very poor habitat.Quehanna had higher predator mortality in the fawn study than PennValley and yet hunter mortality on the adult does wasextremely low in Quehanna.

Even if we concede that there are some hunters who are reluctant to shoot collared deer, The very very low rtae of hunter mortality on does in Quehannakind of supports RSB's contention that mother nature finds a way to take care of controlling populations in poor habitat when hunters don't.
