[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5532772, member: 17"] Our deer (and buck) population has varied over time and is closely linked to cover/browse habitat. Each time we cut timber, the population spikes a couple years later, as natural food production peaks. However, the doe and fawn population seem to be more influenced by this change in habitat than the bucks. This is probably due to the fact our bucks are very transitory. Few of the bucks we have using the property during the fall hunting season are actually residents. They show up in fall, and especially for the rut, and then vanish. Although we see considerable fidelity to the property each fall (same bucks coming back for the rut year after year). Below are two graphs, the total census population and the buck census population. Notice how much more dramatic the total population is linked to timber-cutting than the buck population. The size of each population spike linked to timber removal is closely tied to the amount of timber cut. Cut a small percentage of the timber, you get a small bump in population. Cut a large section, you get a large bump. [/QUOTE]
