I said that those were the study results and that's what they were.
No, those were not the results of the study and your interpretation was dead wrong. The study reported that only 20% of the adult doe that were being tracked wee harvested by hunters. It did not say that 80% of the deer that died in 2G ,died from non-hunting mortality.
Oh and I notice you dodged the issue on your bogus flim flam claim that breeding rates would have had to have been 103%
You have been constantly dodging my questions on this thread, but unlike you I have the answer. The fact is they use 3 year average breeding rates to determine herd health in the individual WMU's , but the statewide average breeding rates are year to year changes . But, that still doesn't explain why breeding rates would suddenly increase by 5% in just one year after declining from 93% in 88% in 2007.
Like I said before,
Breeding rates up, embryo/adult doe up considerably.... Your gonna have to go back write a whole new playbook for your warped agenda.
Wrong again. Breeding rates are the same as they were in 2000 , mean embryos/doe are the same as in 2000 and productivity has decreased from 1.1 fawns/doe to .99 fawns /doe. Therefore ARs and HR did nothing to improve the health of the herd.
