The mistake in my mind is the ideology of trying to “manage” 500 acres…..or manage a 1000 acres……as is if it exists inside of a box and not effected by the other 20,000 acres around it. Just because you see 30 does on a 100 acre parcel means nothing as it concerns “needing to shoot some” without taking into consideration what else exists within a 5 mile radius…..Food is usually not the issue. Where are these areas where food is a major limiting factor to the deer herd?? Food on a landscape scale is not really a limiting factor……Coyotes have made quality fawning habitat and fawn production the main limiting factor for deer populations now.
