late 80's, 90's. QDMA didn't have anything to do with it.
started with DMAP (1980 ) and giving out a LOT of doe tags. I hunted a place near Eutaw where five hunters could see 50+ deer each any evening on 2000 acres. After five years of hammering does you'd be lucky to see 10. And most of the does killed were in the woods, not on the fields.
All of this doe killing started about the time the yote population exploded.
The early 80's I was referring to was the DMAP i recall now and it was a state guy working. The state guy and the ones running the farm have since all been killed in varies ways.
