Lowers the population.

Evens the buck/doe ratio

The lower population & more even Buck/Doe Ratio - combine to provide a better herd structure - with a rut that is NOT prolonged. Results in earlier bred does, higher fawn recruitment (more survive because they are born earlier).

go to the QDMA Website - there is a good article on Why.

Good Question.
