I think the areas of the state that were overpopulated needed a more liberal doe season. I use to hunt right on the Tombigbee river and by this time of year the woods look like a cow pasture with a browse line. In other parts of the state like where I live in Walker Co. they have never been over populated but when they extended doe season the people here started killing does just like they did in other places. The result in places that were overpopulated is less deer which was good but at some time you have to stop reducing the herd. Here where I live the result is so few deer that it makes hunting not very enjoyable. The DMAP program is not an effective tool in places where the majority of people hunt properties less than 500 acres.

If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.
