if its not 3,000 shot per year we will go back to figures given/debated
35,000 yearly increase without predation at 25% (cause its easier)=8750 births over deaths
we average only a 5% increase so 1/5th of that=1750 births over deaths
so logic would SUGGEST the nuber of animals being shot is somewhere AROUND 7,000 per year OR 70% of the DOC allocated total population
