The problem with this MORE, MORE, MORE type of mentality as it pertains to wildlife, and specifically deer management�..is something called carrying capacity. One major issue that can arise from removing all predators and artificially inflating specific game populations like deer for prolonged periods of time to higher levels than the surrounding habitat would �normally� or naturally support�..is the impact that these higher than the �norm� populations begin to have on the habitat. For example, certain species of plants that would otherwise be present will get wiped out and the entire landscape can be impacted over time as a result. This is just barely scratching the surface of the impacts that trying to manage for more, more, more can have. Managing within our means is the best approach. Again if you want �MORE� then habitat management is by far your best imvestment.
