See that is why all these arguments are beating a dead horse. Yes, in fact we did have a problem with B/D ratios, a significant problem....we've already seen 20 does in the alphalpha field and only a single 4 pt.
When we are talking about the B/D ratio we are talking about the adult breeding B/D ,not the antlereed to anterless PS ratio. We had 1 M OW deer in 2000 and harvested 203K buck , which means we had at least 250K PS adult buck and 338K OW buck and 672K females ,which produces a B/D ratio of 1:95.
Not to mention all the does that are not bred until the second and third cycles which in turn affords late births causing and smaller/inferior deer. Seen this too many years.
Did you ever consider reading the fawn conception study. If you did you would make such silly claims The study showed 90% of the adult doe were bred between Oct. 27 and DEc 10. We didn't have a problem with the breeding rates , the lenght of the breeding period or late born fawns. Alt simply created the problem to justify AR and you bought it hook ,line and sinker.
