[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3872734, member: 5412"] I'm trying to understand how shooting a fawn on the same day every year proves anything about the health of the herd? There can be two to three breeding cycles with deer depending on the buck vs doe ratio. If the ratio is skewed toward lots of does, they can be bred in October through January. Fawns the following fall would be three different age groups. If the guy has the perfect 1-1 ratio, He would only know that by doing spotlight surveys and counting deer which would actually be the method to determine if the deer herd was proportioned appropriately. If he did the spotlight surveys and determined it had the correct ratio there would be no need to kill a fawn that has the potential to be a trophy buck. Weight is also not a way to determine the health of a herd. Sickness of the fawn, younger or older bred, type of habitat/food sources all plays into the weight of a deer at any time of the year. I just don't understand. [/QUOTE]
