If we’re looking at it and trying to be as fair and unbiased as possible and not just being a cheerleader for one which a way or another…….then the next thing we have to do is ask “why” is there record numbers of deer being reported in these counties to determine whether it’s a good thing or not for the long term.....Is the record harvest because the deer population is growing allowing for more deer to be taken??......or is it just because more deer are being taken out of the same population base…… If it’s the latter then its going to catch up with you next year or the year after kinda thing……I think that’s where we are at now in my area after the “record” harvests of the last couple of seasons……especially the big increases in doe killing……I think my area will continue to be down for another couple years because we still have to cycle through that big dip we likely had in fawn births…..In other words, this last years “age class” is already starting off slim before they ever even make it to 2, 3, 4…..etc…..I think its gonna take a minute to recover…..Maybe some folks will rethink the doe killing strategy and how we go about it moving forward….
