If it's a "widely accepted principle" then obviously it can be applied to PA, and obviously it supports my opinion.
It would only support your opinion if the data from PA agreed with the theory you support. But, the facts from PA totally rebut that theory ,so you are left with nothing more than your opinion.
What's awr stand for?
It stands for the PGC's Annual Wildlife Reports which contain the data on breeding rates, productivity and the breeding window ,which you obviously haven't read, which explains why you don't know what you are talking about.
If you had a logical thought process you would have realized these bucks have access to a lot better nutrition. Also, there's a lot of hiding places in the suburbs...we have a lot of bucks reaching maturity. Not saying north central dosent, but they certainly have less than down here.
I definitely realize the role nutrition plays , but you are the one that claimed high densities resulted in increased stress and smaller racks. Now let's see if you can produce the data to support your claim.
