OK, I'm following what you are saying with the red section.
Why are you saying subgroup "Y" will stay the same but "X" may increase? I'm guessing you are saying it's because of a decline in the population in the "Y" subgroup which results in less opportunities for harvest.
No…..the “Y” subgroup has seen the least amount of change over the last 5-6 years…..They likely haven’t whacked out the buck population in the same manner as the “X” groups generally speaking…….They haven’t already increased doe harvest either due to an influx of more hunters or trying to balance ratios…..They have the least amount of potential for the two doe rule change to have an impact……They MAY shoot more does but its likely that those folks will be the ones who shoot the same amount as they’ve been shooting…..The “X” subgroups have already been ramping up doe harvest…..This has the potential to just encourage more of it....Its really a watch and see but that's kind of what I expect to happen
