Treasure lake is 14 square miles in size.Hunting is only allowed on a little more than 3 square miles of it.When we do the pelet counts,we do it over the entire property.Furthermore,the 50 dpsm is an overwinter deer density,not a pre season density.If we have 50 dpsm,that would equate to over 700 over winter deer.Asume we have an adult b/d ratio of 1/2.That would mean we have around 450 adult doe .If each doe only recruited 1 fawn,we would have to hill over 450 deer to keep the population stable.Killing 142 doe isn't even scratching the surface of recruitment even though recruitment is pizz poor.
