RE: Dr. Alt has new objective
We have had pretty liberal doe harvests here in New york for quite a few years now. Deer numbers peak and valley even with this pressure. This year and last year were slow years. Probably because of the lack of mast crops and harsh winters. Coyotes may also play a role. I think the game commissions are almost always slow to react. This year has been the worst so far. Most hunting trips have resulted in no sightings.
