Default RE: A year by year diagram of a pair of breading whitetails...

I encourage you to re-read my first post, I did infact say that hunting, if unchecked, will effect the population of animals. However, sport hunting (which is what all of us do for the most part), will not. And that is by design.
This quote here says a lot. I disagree that sport hunting will not affect the population, because as long as there are harvest, er ah kill, or whatever statistics the population is affected, but I see what you are saying. The state game commission has to keep hunting an equitable resource so they can make money. Therefore, they have to impose bag limits that satisfy the hunters' desires for sport hunting, but do not have a long term negative impact that will reduce the size of their cash cow. So, they make the limits to where there will be a population of deer to hunt to keep their hunters happy.

That is one way of looking at it. Yes, of course, every animal that dies does effect the population....but not anymore than a single rain drop makes the ocean bigger.

There again, I still think we are hitting the same target here...just from different angles. The paradox of the internet.
