That's a thought provoking post Chet. Not a problem for me because there's no agriculture in our area other than pine trees and cow pastures. But it would not surprise me at all if ag chemicals are getting into the wildlife food chain in a serious way.

Sabotloader's thought regarding a university study is excellent. I'd bet there's some grad student out there just looking for a great topic for a doctorial thesis.

Because our club has a two doe limit I tend to shoot the biggest does I can to maximize meat harvest. If I had the option of shooting more than two I would concentrate on those 80 to 90 pound gals that were born the previous year. Smaller roasts, but sooo good.
