I absolutely believe that the size of your parcel of land has a direct bearing as to the effectiveness of your "management" strategy. Also agree that the more neighbors you get on board, the better your chances of reaping the benefits of what you're trying to sow.

Clarification someone? Differentiate between herd improvement and population expansion? Scott's program sounded to me like a plan to increase their numbers, not so much improve overall health.

And I agree with Dave as to predators having a vital role to play. We all know that nature does what she thinks is best, if left to her own devices. How do we know that those bobcats didn't have a vital role to play in curbing a population or two that needed curtailing? Man steps in and alters the balance yet again?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
