[QUOTE="Rut2much, post: 461072, member: 413"] Turn of the century= deer population was producing absolute numbers of studs (more than plentiful 140s, 150s, 160s+) and fawns hand over fist while the population was booming. Decided to treat it like a fishery that was producing too many trophy fish with a hot bite by upping the limit and allow netting.. Mix that followed by an unfortunate very very harah winter with the beginning unbelievable habitat loss ever since and here we are. I'd obviously define the mild winters as the ones without multiple foot snow depth so the deer can get down to the feed and not have to work so hard for it in sub sub 0 temps stressing themselves out and starving themselves much faster w/ little body fat for energy and insulation. The coyotes absolutely feast in these cold deep snow winters both on the living and dead. I'm not bitching though, grew up in apex of the nd outdoor era after the shitty 80s and have happily adjusted to an addiction to the wiley coyote. [/QUOTE]
