I have never claimed the harvests aren't controlling the herd.I have said that reduced recruitmentwas a factor following the winters of 2003 and 2004 but that didn't reduce the herd by itself.I have dozens of trail caM pictures to prove that RECRUITMENT WAS EFFECTED THOSE YEARS.I've stated on numerous ocassions that many remote areas with poor habitat have low deer numbers.Part of that reason is because of reduced recruitment but the main reason is because there's just no reason for deer to be there.THERE'S ALSO NO REASON TO ADD MORE DEER TO STRESSED HABITAT.Deer are very resilient and they reproduce at a high rate,even in poor habitat,unless there's a very bad winter.However,just because they're still reproducing doesn't mean the habitat is still being effected in a negative way.
