[QUOTE="BigGameGuy, post: 1474901, member: 2232"] Winchester - That's where tighter restrictions and improved habitat can make a difference. Think about it, the entire 36,000 acre area has six days of archery hunting. That reduces mortality tremendously allowing the herd to reach higher numbers and more natural age structures. In this case let's say it produces 3 mature bucks for every two square miles, that's about 90 mature deer walking around. Oak Ridge hunters killed 28 of them. That sounds great and it really is but look at it from a different angle...almost 70% of the mature bucks on Oak Ridge eluded hunters. (Keep in mind, these are hypothetical numbers.) Another thing to keep in mind is that a good portion of Oak Ridge is within the high fenced security area. Once you put a fence up, all we know about free-ranging animals flies out the window.
