Here’s another fallacy I think a lot of people are believing while we got that graph up there…….Folks have always told us that if we manage population levels to the left of the peak MSY on the graph then your bucks are going to get more groceries so it’ll result in you killing bigger bucks with an extra 20-40 inches of antler on each one kinda thing…….It doesn’t pan out that way though in reality for most folks because cutting the number of bucks produced in half just insures that virtually none will make into older age classes….The idea of old bucks barely even exists for many much less folks worrying about them putting on a little bit of extra antler growth…… Even if one does make it to an older age class he’s likely a low end buck that’s made it through a bunch of high grading ….Most folks would have a better chance to kill a good buck or any buck for that matter if we produced the most buck fawns possible and had a population level goal like represented on the above graph…….
