But.. I think their view might be somewhat skewed because they are now majority spending time on managed properties. The status of our deer population can be drastically different when you get away from some of these heavily managed areas.
Ol’ boy is spot on about the bias ^^^^……
So I guess what you're admitting, without actually saying it outright, is that the people that are heavily managing their properties for habitat, food, proper sex ratios, carrying capacity, buck age structure, and limited select harvest are the ones that are enjoying the best hunting opportunities, handling the herd correctly, and doing what is best for the overall resource. Can't imagine why everyone would not want to experience that, and be in the same situation. Everyone sure seems jealous of it. You dont have to have millions or massive properties to do it. Just takes a little hardwork, like minded neighbors, and most importantly, a whole bunch of trigger restraint (which is severely lacking all over this state "outside of these heavily managed areas"). So does that mean that you are in favor of that same type of harvest and management program being adopted statewide? Back off the doe harvest a little bit and cut the buck harvest by 70% or so?
