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

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?

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

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