Here's my problem with that statement. I manage my 40 acres for deer and turkeys. Summer and winter plots, fertilize browse, burn and supplemental feed. I have a lot of smaller acreage neighbors too that do nothing but put out a feeder and will shoot whatever walks by. I'm doing my part and my property and population has dramatically increased. It doesn't take long for small land holders to wipe out a deer population if they all shoot 3-4 does a year. I have been in a club with 5,000 acres that had all but wiped out the deer on the property and several other people on here can vouch for that as well. It's not to control the ones who actually have self control and want to do what's best for the herd. But the ones who don't give a damn and kill everything that walks by need to be regulated.
