To inform, educate, and communicate the relationships between deer management, landowners and bowhunting. Single and triplet fawns are not uncommon . Two deer without predation can produce a herd of up to135 deer in 7 years. Deer can live up to 18 years. Gardens, plants and shrubs can also be destroyed.
Undernourished deer are smaller- weaker and prone to die from starvation.
This is not good for the environment nor is it good stewardship of the animals. Deer require 10-12 pounds of food each day for most of the year. In late winter their diet is supplemented by their stored fat. When deer run out of stored fat and available browse they start to metabolize their bone marrow and starvation is eminent. Deer are ruminants and have multi chambered stomachs similar to cows.
