Now look at the big picture for a minute. I am not saying you are wrong in your thoughts. Hunter harvests and coyote predation are additive mortality. If you are spending time and money on growing deer why allow coyotes to be an additive source of mortality.

Anyway, there is little or no research that shows dense fawning habitat actually increases fawn survival either.

Reducing doe harvest is fine but that seems like right the opposite thing that hunters would want to do...

I am with you on the fawning habitat though. Like I said. It is a multi pronged attacked.
