PF put out an article suggesting that hunters could harvest 93 percent of pre-hunt rooster numbers without harming the population, and that such a high rate of harvest is very unusual, if not impossible. The article goes on to say that the normal range is 45-65 percent. Adding an average...

i've heard over the years that in areas with high birds density areas, roosters have a tendency to push hens out of premium cover in the winter, and the hens succumbing to exposure to the inhospitable weather? is there any truth to that?
