Default RE: Harvest Ratios

On good habitat you should be able to harvest 40% of your does just to keep herd numbers from growing. In Charles Alsheimer`s book Quality Deer Management he says shooting 25% of an areas does is a disaster waiting to happen. Because a 25% harvest will not control herd growth.
