Take Montgomery Co as an actual real world example……..Look at the map and the habitat layout…….Bucks can populate and live in ALL kinds of places within the city limits and around marginal cow pasture type habitat….behind subdivisions, etc…….Large populations of doe groups cannot exist in all of these same areas though……The main populations of doe groups for the county is limited by certain habitat types ……They just cant expand beyond prime fawning habitat due to coyotes.....Reproductive success goes to nil.....Only certain areas within the county have the potential habitat to hold high concentrations of does but most ALL areas of the county has the potential to house stray bucks. When the rut kicks off in Montgomery Co…….bucks leave of all of these fringe areas and converge on the areas where the main doe populations exist. What would happen to the buck numbers existing in all these hidey holes around the county if the guys with the main doe populations decided to start shooting a bunch of their does??......The answer is that there would be a lot less dispersing bucks to fill them. You just reduce the population
