’Apparent competition’ with mule deer was an issue.
That population reduction was met and the whitey doe limit was reduced to one.
If the whitetails did take a hit last winter, stay on them. You won’t keep them down for long but it will benefit the mule deer.
Maybe re-read that mulw deer thread that I bumped not long ago. So much good info in there from knowledgeable people that are no longer with us.
My whitetail season here lasted a total of 45 mins...but I don’t put a lot of weight in my personal observations.
