And people like you could talk to your neighbors, form a cooperative, get on DMP, and get a biologist to assist meeting your goals. If you're not talking to people you hunt with and close to then you need to be. At this time in history people are more skeptical of ALL government agencies than they have been in recent times, and are pushing for fewer government restrictions, regulations, and giving the people more liberty to manage the way they want to. Which is it? What do people really want? I think AL has done a great job at giving people hunting freedoms and privileges that most other states don't give their residents. If deer are declining in your area that is not justification for a statewide regulation change. That requires local change, which is your responsibility.
