A dynamic white-tailed deer population simulator and lessons from its use
… deer changes with a population natality change. A static management strategy (e.g. to achieve a constant ratio of antlered-to-antlerless deer) results in unstable (and probably suboptimal) harvest when the reproductive rate, adult sex ratio, and fawn sex ratios are dynamic. DEER …
