Studies show that there is no significant increase in WT fawn mortality when the doe is taken.
Whitetail are gregarious animals. Fawns are never on their own very long.
One study found that 49% of fawns were not offspring of the doe they were hanging with.
Study's or first hand experience from hundreds of bc res hunters . Lol FD will argue even if he's 100% wrong ... next your going to tell us there is no problems with the salmon pops on the Fraser or in general for that matter
2-lips .... You missed the point of comparing the theory that eliminating the moose from the landscape would save the caribou from the wolves
Eliminating the WT will not do much to save the mulies from the wolves
Onyour other points , yes wt are more prolific breeders than moose BUT eliminate the predators and the population thrives
Yes mule deer are indeed different than caribou
No, in bc the primary cause of the caribou is predators , habitat is secondary
"The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom."
WTF ?? You guys are the ones that said it was the plan to lower the wt population because it was attracting predators and they were hard on the mulie pop .
This thread thread has gone soooo sideways I,m done !
