So from what I understand, this is counter productive. The females will go into heat. Do they go into heat over and over if they don’t get pregnant?
what I’m thinking is that one fertile stud can service many many females. If they are continually available for mating until they get pregnant, even a single fertile stud can still be active and upset the goals of this program.
That's what Mrs. Wilhelm said !
and see how that turned out !
First thing, 763 deer on The whole of Staten Island, ha! Heck, there are about 300 plus in my immediate area, far, far smaller than SI.
The hormone driven females will still go into heat, so the very lucky bucks which are missed will have a ball given the decreased stag population. Little Bambis all over the place but from smaller gene pool. Lots more male Bambis born during the projected 3 year project term.
Sounds like somebody found the key to the bottomless NYC wallet. Got to get all the males at one go...but...that will never happen as migrating males will come from nearby areas even if they have to swim to find the hot hootchie mamas.
Best effort would be to introduce bow hunting seasons and MAKE MONEY for NYC coffers as well as feeding the homeless and selling venison to the hipster eateries.
