Default RE: You make the call!

ddear,
I guess the point I was trying to make is that there is a minimum level of complexity that has to be attained before a discussion on this topic is meaningfull. No offense but I just don't think the question or answer you proposed got to that level.
As always, everyone is entitled to their opinion ,but IMHO my example can be used to demonstarte basic concepts.

For example, if hunters were to pass on all 12 fawns in oder to save BB two things would happen. The B/D ratio would not remain at 1: 2 and in order to keep the herd stable more adult doe would have to beharvested ,so recruitment would drop significantly. Non hunting mortality would also increase since fawns and yearlings have the highest moratality rates , so sustainable harvets would decrease even though the OW herd remained at 21 DPSM.
