This is what I’m talking about Matt…..According to Backwoods Cowboy you just went to his place and told him he didn’t need to shoot does because he wasn’t anywhere near his carrying capacity ……Now I’m telling his “neighbor” literally the same thing and you’re arguing for something different. Are you sure you’re not just trying to argue with me instead of it being about the point??

I know what the text books say and I know how it played out on the King Ranch…..but there’s what the text books say is suppose to happen and then there’s what’s actually occurring in our unique reality. The text books don’t have the rules of the game set the way our landscape and properties are laid out……or with our same hunter density and the impacts of very high feeder densities and very liberal season lengths and liberal doe harvesting rules, no accountability for buck limits, etc etc……You have to apply a solution that’s adapted to fit the realities in front of us instead of just using the generic formula from the text book.
