I see you are just making up numbers again to support your agenda. If you knew as much as you think you know, you would know that 44% of the antlerless deer harvested are fawns,and on average 22% are BB.

Please note, my post says nothing about the B/D ratio.

I did goof, I'll give you that.
I meant fawns/BB.
Sorry.

RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
 

The fawn/BB ratio is around 2:1.

Wong again. A BB is a fawn. Assuming you meant BB's/doe fawns you're still wrong.At birth BB's comprise about 54% of each years new fawn crop

Nice try , but you are barking up the wrong tree. Livbucks posed the ratio of fawns /Bb not me. My reply was simply to demonstrate Livbucks didn't know what he was talking about.

In 2007 the PGC said 24% of the fawns harvested were BB. but in previous years the PGC stated that the fawn harvest was equally split between males and females. So were the hunters in 2007 targeting BB, or is the 24% harvest rate just an anomaly?

One way or another you are wrong again!

Quoted above from your post you said 24% of the fawn harvest was BB's
Based on that statement hunters would have been protecting the BB's

Your post makes no sense whatsoever. Try re-reading my post and try again.

I was going to say that, but he comes across with such authority, that he even made me believe he was correct.

RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
 

What difference does it make if BB are 54% of the fawns or 50% of the fawns? The fact remains that BB will always comprise 22-24% of the antlerless harvest.

I understand Greg. And therein lies the reason we need to continue correctin the spin doctors, liars and kooks here. It does get tiresome when we get all three rolled into one
