So that people will not hunt the animals to the point of extinction.
An example would be, in 2008, in New Brunswick Canada, 12,882 residents applied for an antlerless tag. 5,000 were issued.
Fish and Game departments issue tags in an attempt to maintain a viable population of animals.
5 deer
i would limit deer hunting to at least one or two deer a year.
no
Every state has a limit because they don't want all of the deer to be killed.
One example of a biotic factor that could limit the size of a deer herd is predation by large predators like wolves or cougars. These predators can directly reduce the deer population by hunting and consuming deer.
No. Even if you have a have a hunting license, a deer tag and haven't hit your limit, roadkill deer is illegal. Dead deer on the road, call animal services. On your property, bury it.
No, unless it is a holiday. you will have a time limit though
A biotic factor that could limit the size of a deer herd is the availability of food sources. If there is not enough food to support a larger herd, this could lead to competition for resources, malnutrition, and a decrease in reproductive success among the deer population.
The drive time between Deer Lake and St. Anthony is 5h 21 mins @ the speed limit.
I limit my shooting of deer-sized game to 100-125 yards with the 30-30 cartridge. If you hunt in the East, most deer will be shot within that distance. Good Luck!
Predation by natural predators like wolves or mountain lions can limit the deer population. Availability of food sources, such as browse and vegetation, can restrict the growth of deer populations. Disease outbreaks, such as chronic wasting disease or parasitic infections, can also act as limiting factors on deer populations.
Wild animals breed to the limit of the food supply and as limited by any predators. So yes, if the deer population gets too large for the food supply, some deer will starve. There are not many predators left to control deer numbers due to near eradication of wild wolves and mountain lions, but the changing suburban landscape has actually increased the amount of food for deer. Therefore it is the duty of the modern hunter to selectively thin the number of deer for the health and well being of the herd.
