The regulations reflect the best biology and the input from the most engaged sportsmen. That is why they allow a liberal doe take and very limited antlered deer take. Speculation and anecdotes abound. When the science changes, please point me to the review papers in scientific journals that reflect this change. I see this kind of anti-science mumbo jumbo used to justify behavior in all disciplines, from medicine to agriculture; Just add doubt and then proceed to do whatever fits your ideology or is simply easy. Shooting whatever walks by is legal, but the science is not controversial among scientists. Unlike your private pond, your deer hunting behavior affects others. You are free to do whatever is legal, but I will call you on justifying it based on murky science, Just keep your BG out of my private SMB pond!
