Since the question has been asked I’ll bring up the idea that was discussed many years ago in QDMA publications and forum.
Replacement rates per deer
I’ve brought it up in here several times but never goes anywhere. Basic premise is that the amount of time to replace a deer in time. Half year old takes a half year but a 5 year old buck takes approximately 7-8 years because of how many bucks die before reaching that age.
I’m assuming that is no longer a thought or discussion amongst bios.
Fair question. About the only thing I can contribute is a study from MSU that found in the southeast, if you remove vehicle and hunting mortality, only 59 of 100 buck fawns survive until their 5th birthday. Basically, they die at a rate comparable to 10% annual mortality. If you add hunting related mortality and vehicle collisions it’s basically a wash.
