[QUOTE="Coyote Hunter, post: 84101, member: 486"] KDM you are 100% correct :::... the mountain lions are the MAIN reason the deer population plummeted. I really thought you were smarter than that. I never said that the lions don't have an effect on the deer population. They certainly do... but both populations can co-exist if the cats are kept in check. Apparently, in your mind the REASON for the statewide reduction of 149,000 deer tags in 2008 to the record low of 43,000 deer tags in 2015 is entirely due to MOUNTAIN LIONS... I guess my "precious winters of 09-11" had nothing to do with. Sit back and listen to what you are saying... I also was unaware that the lions are running the entire state decimating the deer herd... Winter kill had almost everything to do with the decimated deer herds STATEWIDE. It didn't just happen in the badlands, deer numbers are down dramatically STATEWIDE. Guys, wake up... if the deer population was rebounding all over (except in the badlands) we wouldn't be at the record low for deer tags. I have one guy telling me the whitetail population is almost completely recovered in his area (prime lion area), but we are to believe that when the rest of the state still has no deer. Mountain lions kill whitetails also, so it isn't like they are immune to lions... Remember KDM... Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. [/QUOTE]
