How long do you think a big Buck will live? Either they die of old age or someone like him shoots them. If your theory is right that there will be none to replace them, which doesn't seem likely in that there are few hunters seriously chasing them, then either way it makes little difference. On top of that, take the spotlight out in his country and look around. You may just be surprised at what you see re Bucks and they are seeing more Does than in the last 10 years. Why? Dang few are killing them.
Under your thoughts we should completely quit hunting Deer in an area such as where he hunts because in your mind there are not enough. Does are the key. Lay off the Does and the numbers will increase. It worked in reverse when the GC along with us declared war on Does.
WV has had some recent brutal winters in their mountain counties which account for the biggest reason why they are currently few. Limited food and high snow are a knockout.
