I'd say that many places around here in the good areas are 50+ with some properties being 75-100 DPSM.....You could probably reduce the numbers on some of those higher properties and add some weight and inches onto the bucks but you're still not gonna be growing a bunch of world class deer.....just a nice 'un here and there about like they do now anyways.

It kills me to hear folks start saying that they're "seeing too many does so they need to shoot some".....They have an abstract number in their head that has nothing to do with actual carrying capacity.....or they base it off of a poorly managed, 1 acre greenfield being eat down to the dirt so they think it means they need to start shooting. I'd wager a guess that many places in the state could hold more deer if folks laid off the does.
