[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5708887, member: 17"] It all comes down to what percentage of the total deer population hunters are killing each year. If it is a small percentage, a slightly higher buck kill won't make much of an impact if fawn recruitment is relatively high (the new crop of equal sex fawns tends to swamp the sex ratio once they become adults on their first birthdays). If hunters are killing a high percentage of the total population, a buck heavy harvest can have an impact on adult sex ratio. In the old days, hunters were probably killing 60% of the buck population each year and few does. That had a MASSIVE impact on sex ratio. [/QUOTE]
