That's not realistic. People can't self manage themselves. That's like saying we don't need a speed limit because everyone will just drive a safe speed.

The problem with no rules is that while one property might be ok and have lots of deer, another 2 miles away has got a pack of doe killing neighbors that shoot on sight.... so there are hardly any deer and that group can do nothing about it.

That's the reality of our current situation. I can assure you if you actually hunted a place where the neighbors sat on your property line and shot every deer they saw while you worked your rear off to try and have a nice place to hunt.... your opinion would change. Not the neighbors deer either.
