Now that was a brilliant comment! Just brilliant! Comments like that only come from the most clueless of the clueless.
Hunters have been harvesting fewer then 12% of the marked does in the study areas of unit 2G so how could anyone with even half a functioning brain cell believe it is hunters reducing the deer population?
The habitat in some parts of unit 2G aren’t recovering because the deer population in many areas is still maxed out to the limits of the depleted habitat. In other areas both the habitat and deer populations are increasing. But, if hunters don’t keep up with those deer population increases the habitat quickly declines again. Once that happens the deer population declines again as well.
That is the way if all works when hunters fail or refuse to control the deer populations in an area for too long. If enough people listen to you we will have many more and much larger areas of the state with destroyed habitat and crashed deer populations across the state, too.
