We have had increasingly less fawns year after year. Oh, we have plenty on camera with spots with their mama's. Sometimes multiples, then they disappear. We never get pics, see them while hunting. So where do they go? I have a pretty good idea. If we are losing that many deer to the predators then we must stop killing the does. Like I said in an earlier post, we have killed no does in 3 years and "some" neighbors longer than that.
Someone needs to start educating the Hunting population on what is going on with the deer herd. And what we can do to help it. And that certainly does not mean year long either sex season to satisfy the lobbyists and big money insurance companies. Its time.
