RE: Depleted PA deer populations
chickory is just like the guys in my hometown who I have to listen to all day long...If I had listened to him I would still be broke in PA.. Instead of listening to the data, which he is really incapable of doing, he states his perception of facts...
Simple math and idea...If the population went down and most of the normal kill was a yearling, and we are going to let them grow up 1 more year, that would mean most of our deer were 1.5 if they were not shot the following year...
If the food was poor and they could not feed their bodies properly then nature would not permit them to waste energy on a useless bone mass on their head...
This would make the kill remain low for 3.5 yrs...That means that we should see better results this upcoming year..
