[QUOTE="Coyote Hunter, post: 84119, member: 486"] If you took the NDGF out of the game... there would be no mule deer left either. I know I would be out there hunting a muley buck with my made up 4C tag just like everybody else! [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Do you really want to argue if deer numbers are down statewide from 2008??? [FONT=arial][COLOR=#0000FF] [B][SIZE=3]From the NDGF on the 2015 Big Game Hunting Outlook:[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] [/FONT] [SIZE=3][B]Mule Deer [/B][/SIZE]Mule deer in North Dakota’s badlands continue to show signs of recovery following severe winters from [B][COLOR=#FF0000]2009 through 2011[/COLOR][/B]. [COLOR=#FF0000]During that time, mule deer numbers declined by nearly 50 percent.[/COLOR] Spring 2015 marked the third consecutive year that the mule deer index was higher than the previous year. The 2015 spring index was 24 percent higher than 2014, and 16 percent higher than the long-term average. The population increase can be attributed to no harvest of antlerless mule deer in the badlands during the 2012-14 hunting seasons, a moderate winter over much of the primary mule deer range, and improved fawn production in 2013-14. The [B]2014 fawn-to-doe ratio of 95 fawns per 100 does was the highest since 1999[/B], and [B]above the long-term average of 90 fawns per 100 does[/B]. The fawn-to-doe ratio tells me lions are not decimating the fawn population... If it wasn't for the winters of 09-11, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Deer populations would be high in the badlands, everyone would still be drawing their tags every 4-5 years, life would be good. But the problem is, mother nature is an SOB in North Dakota and it drives wildlife populations much more than any other outside factor. [/QUOTE]
