[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5246179, member: 17"] Not going to argue against it. What I like about private land management is you can set the goals to the type of hunting the landowner wants. I set mine a bit lower because I don't want a 2nd rut, for biological reasons. Late-born male fawns are behind the 8-ball, and they may stay behind antler-growth-wise for several years afterwards (and possibly forever). Now on smaller properties, the end result may be nothing, as most of the yearlings born there are going to disperse to somewhere else. But I'm going to shoot for something closer to balance (1.5 does per buck) to keep the rut tightly timed, hence fawn births tightly timed (which reduces coyote predation), but not so low as to have doe harvest pressure drive the does nocturnal during the rut.
