"The fact that unit 2G has had both declining antler less allocations and deer harvests over the past twenty years should lead any thinking person toward the conclusion that something besides deer harvests is causing the decline in fawn recruitment that it can’t keep up with even the ever declining deer harvests. "
What you are saying makes ZERO sense. If the herd were on a declining trend, due to harvest, THE HARVEST IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DECLINE ALONG WITH THE HERD SIZE!! THerefore it takes less and less harvest to continue to reduce the herd.
You are basing your halfbaked theory on absolutely nothing other than you dont believe that it takes far fewer doe tags to reduce or stabilize a very low deer population.
well, here is 1 way to prove if fawns increase,CLOSE DOE SEASON FOR 1 YEAR AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
