I bet I'm low on that 1.2 fawn per doe rate I'm using......In a healthy population it's probably closer to 1.4 or better.......Correct?


I wonder what the true rate is for other causes of adult doe mortality.....Half of harvest is probably pretty high


Folks that know don't shoot old does........ wink
