I didn't say they were all getting shot and just because there is a limit does not mean someone has to reach it.

Let's say I have a 250 acre parcel that I only shoot 4 yr old deer or older on. All of my neighboring property owners practice the same management. And they collectively have an additional 450 acres. Then there is a couple of small tracks of land let's say 15 -20 acres that an entire family hunts. Everyone is striving to kill there limit on those two 20 acre parcels. So let's say it's dad and a son on both parcels. That year they would kill 12 bucks off of 49 acres. No telling how many does and prolly would have a few buddies come over and kill a couple bucks as well. That's way too many for the areas I hunt in the north. Not to mention that hey are shooting first come first serve and that usually is one and two yr old bucks that are still stupid and don't know better than to cross their land.

If I am them I am going to shoot a deer if I want to kill it and then let my neighbors with better practices and grow and produce quality animals that could be killed on those small tracts.
