[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3638900, member: 17"] One thing I do agree with the earlier sited study (and other published mortality studies) is that the vast majority of buck mortality is due to legal harvest by someone, whether that someone is on the managed property or not. Now whether a buck that "disappears" from a given property from one year to the next disappears because of being dead is another question. But the fact that well-managed properties consistently see a 40-50% decline in the number of 2 1/2 year-old bucks from number of yearling bucks they had the previous year is due primarily to hunter legal harvest somewhere.
