Ok I have put together all the numbers from the DWR for a unit I am familiar with here are the numbers
Ok if you look at these numbers, can anyone tell me how in 2016-2017 with a high fawn and high Doe survival that the population only goes up 200 head, then in 2019-2020 the fawn and doe are lower significantly that the population jumps 1600 head and buck population jumps way up?
The only reason why I see this happening is they need to justify to move tags from another unit and ask for 250 tag increase on this unit.
Can anyone explain otherwise? Please do and enlighten me.
