From a biological perspective, to me, it’s all about promoting a balanced and healthy deer herd so the beneficiaries (hunters) can choose how to hunt that best suits them. Right now, there’s an overharvest of bucks and high grading taking place and it’s going to continue to get worse until a lot of ppl lose interest.
I can only hope people lose interest. There’s absolutely too many “deer hunters” running around anyway. I don’t even call em deer hunters tho. They are just glorified shooters who can sit by a feeder and kill a deer. I’d like to get back to where deer hunting is a little difficult. That way most of these shooters lose interest. Not many left who really wanna hunt a deer. They just wanna shoot em.
