Default RE: REWARDS FOR DOE IN PA.

You aren’t so dense as not to have realized that the doe mortality study was set up to monitor does with collars on were you.
Actually, it was set up and presented as a study to determine doe mortality from all sources including hunting. But,what they found was the study did not accurately measure adult doe mortality due to and they are now trying to correct that flaw. But, the study raises significant questions regarding the validity of the results from other studies using radio collared deer such as the fawn mortality study and the antlered buck study.

Also, I noticed that you failed to comment on the fact that the doe harvests,produced total harvests,which were still exceeding recruitment in both 4B and 2G. I wonder why? Could it be that it didn't support your claims that the habitat was controlling the herd?
