Good job you get 1/2 point for all that. anyway deer are ruminants, and considered by science to be in the same family group as bovines in the order of cervidea, translation they have a four chambered stomach.

Thank you for validating my "armchair biologist" statement. Where did you get your degree in wildlife management? So killing less does will lower the buck to doe ratio? Are you saying there are more bucks than does in Indiana currently? Now i have talked with the professor of animal science at Purdue, since deer are bovines the best management practice would be to take a minimum of 2 does with a max being 3. this helps with recruitment also you must be willing to let yearling animals pass and take only those animals that are truly mature. This is biological harvesting, a system that our dnr biologist have apparently forgot when they got their jobs. How do you expect to get hunters to only mature deer? Yearling's are some of the best eating ;D ;D

I literally laughed when i read that^ Deer are ruminants, bovines are Ruminants, but deer are not bovines. You're wrong. Accept it.
