In that last article it talked about an older age structure having higher reproductive success….It basically talks about it in the context of taking them out to cut down on reproduction if you have too many deer…….However, let me present it in a different context…..We’re in conundrum here in Alabama where most places are suffering from not having enough bucks……If everyone takes out the old does and it cuts down on reproductive success then that also means we’re cutting down on buck production rates in the process……Half of that reproduction that doesn’t happen is a buck that doesn’t get produced

Wouldn’t it make more sense to allow those old does to successfully have those twins and triplets and then just shoot the ones that arent bucks when they get to be old enough to tell them apart??
