weight loss?
I need to remove a few more does this year. I have aged a never bred 1 1/2 at a gutted 75 and a 2 1/2 mom whole at 100. I wished I could have had the live weight of the 1 1/2. She may weighted as nuch as the mom. After this age, it depends a lot on:
1 Were they bred?
2 How many fawns to nurse?
3 How was the rain that year.
4 ?????????? Stress, coyotes, dog packs running them in winter, causing the deer to waste energy and 100 things
I will have get the two I named "Mama San" and "Big Mama". These are big big deer 4 1/2 to 6 1/2. IF (hopefully when), I get at least one I can better answer when they go downhill in weight.
The rains here last year was big; big acron crop and the deer in hard to find spots. Dry this year, little grass or acorns. only a few acorns in woods. I see squirells moving in groups (herds) of a dozen.
Of the rifles we discussed, only BAR had 4 groove bbl.
