Can we just kill em’ all and start over?
I hear you…..but no I don’t think that’s an option at this point……We could however take the knowledge we have now and improve on the stuff we did back in the day not knowing any better…….Even if its simply working with what we have now already on the landscape…….Now I highly doubt we ever would get this organized to do it but you could most definitely manipulate what’s occurring on the landscape now through harvest patterns……and we are doing so without even knowing it…..Its just being done very randomly with no rhyme or reason to which does get shot……
For example, not saying we want to do this but we could probably get rid of the Bankhead doe herd over time with the right situation occurring and may actually be doing so in reality…..All you would need to do is heavily shoot does within Bankhead and stop shooting them around the perimeter…..With reproduction rates likely being low within Bankhead due to habitat…..replacement of those Nov does you shot would start coming from immigrant Jan does and every year you repeated that cycle the percentage of Nov does in the herd would likely become less and less until it fell below a critical threshold and petered out…….Will this happen??.....Completely depends on how the land and doe herds get managed over time
