Lets say that end of this year going into next year there is magically 10,000 acres of fine prime ready for animals to move in tomorrow habitat. How long will it take to put 1 deer per 20 acres on those 10,000 acres so 500 deer? The if you build it they will come doesn't always work the way we think it should.
If the deer numbers are already low and the habitat is not strained the animals have no reason to move if their home is at a sustainable carrying capacity. If the animal numbers are higher you will see a movement, not overnight, but it will be a little faster. So while I agree that habit is important there needs to be other X Factors looked at and these factors differ from area to area in the state.
Depends on if you haze them into the Utopia with a helicopter or not.

My truck felt an ear the other day ago luckily it wasnt the dear and only its ear. Lots of new borns this year imo. Never cease to see road kill. El nino were not going to see decent ice this year this should help the animals. CRP remains steady in ND not in every state though its on the grow - i think your going to see a rise in nodak too.. Plus the states prgms is on the rise.


Kreil killed em all off...popcorn...
