To help the declining mule deer pop...
DUH!!
Opportunity, isn't that what everyone wants?
Don't you get it?
A realistic reason would be appreciated! Thanx very much.
I would also like to know.
Wasnt being a smart ass to you.
Very good question onesock
if hunters can slow there trigger finger and watch the deer a dry doe can be selected.
my wife or i have been drawn 11times in the last 10years...most deer harvested where unable to reproduce but two...most where head or neck shots..half where shot in alfalfa feilds and were large fat unreproducing...one even had no teeth..hung that one longer than ever before lol.
if a hunter has a 338-327-or 326 draw i can help with the selected deer.
hunting for my family isnt typically wow a deer..
its more like we will take frank,jim,and sally this year...in the process we eye up daryl and jim..
I just dont understand the leh doe when mule deer are in the trouble they are.
mule deer hit a all time low not last spring but the spring before when pred numbers hit there peak..
at least in 3 and 8 where i mostly play...lowest numbers i have ever seen in my life..they actually made it through the winter and most fatalitys occured in may and june.
pred numbers have dropped since...rabbits are gone they where at there height 2 summers ago you would see 120-150 a night.
theres alot of wildlife issues in bc but there is also cycles..i was raises not to kill predators...my mentality and my dads has shifted.
get the shot even marginal at a pred take it.
i also noticed fawns surviving better in areas where large male bears are not present...mostly where myself and freinds have harvested them beside fawning does.
