If only older males and females are harvested, there will be no adult males, 50 adult females, and 30 deer will remain, exceeding the carrying capacity. In this scenario, with a 1: 5 back-to-dough ratio, the flock "turns over" each year, making it very difficult to age the flock.
Is the taste of old deer different?
Be careful of old ones. I've heard some hunters claim that it tastes better than money. That is not true in nature. The mature female deer spent feeding summer fawns is about the toughest and most stringent deer in the forest.
What is the oldest deer killed so far?
The oldest deer ever recorded was the hand-reared Scottish red deer (Cervus elaphus) Bambi, owned by the Fraser family in Kiltarlity, Highland, England. Bambi was born on June 8, 1963 and died on January 20, 1995 at the age of 31 years and 226 days.
What if the deer is gone?
"If you stop hunting, the deer herd will not grow indefinitely and dominate the world. Another potential problem with leaving deer populations is overgrazing. It can happen. As more deer fight for the same food, farmlands, gardens and forests will all be seriously damaged.
Healthy back-to-dow ratio How much?
The Killmaster stated that the ideal back-to-dow ratio is approximately 1: 1 given the modest harvest and non-hunting mortality. Few areas have achieved such a balance. Ratios are usually more distorted and can vary by region and individual properties.
