that map reflects EXACTLY what I said it would when AL decided to legalize baiting and extend seasons statewide. It paved the way for a lot more deer to die on small tracts that previously had a negligible impact on overall deer harvest. I don’t think it’s doom and gloom like you do, but it’s definitely having an impact.
I agree its having an impact......
Its pretty gloomy for a lot of areas though……Those big increases took out a lot of deer……The only way were going to recover from a population standpoint in many places is for more clubs and landowners to stop shooting does to make up for the excess that’s getting shot on those small tracts……
