Default RE: Overharvesting of does- John Ozoga

This story has the makings of a fairy tale except the happy ending.


Therefore, heavy harvesting of doe groups did not impair reproductive performance of the survivors. In fact,we saw improved productivity among isolate does in at least one age class (21/2-yearolds). As a result, population recovery would probably proceed faster than expected if not all members of kinship groups were removed.
