Also notable on the very first page was that the original findings that 80% of 2G does survive the hunting season have been further supported by the continued research which was modified to account for the theory that hunters would be less likely to harvest collared deer
But you claimed 80% of the deer that died in 2G ,died from non-hunting mortality and you were dead wrong,as usual.

Furthermore, since you only need to harvest around 33% of the preseason deer in order to keep the herd stable , a harvest rate of 20% of the adult doe combined with the fawn harvest and the buck harvest would keep the herd stable in 2G. Therefore , hunters were harvesting al the deer available to be harvested on a sustainable basis in 2G.
