I am no fan of Alt but deer hunting is going to change weather we as hunters change with it is up to each of us.We are loseing huntable land at alarming rates.Alts plan was based on lowering deer numbers to what bad habitat could support, I believe its is a better idea to raise thequality of habitat to support a more huntable deer herd.
I see things this way because I am a deer hunter.Non hunters like to look at big trees,but big trees do not make good deer habitat.here lies the problem.
We need more and larger tracks of land timbered.
I live in Crawford county and we are blessed with mostly private land, small farms and large wood lots.Deer thrive here .Better cover will help your turkeys & grouse numbers also. Support timber harvest on all state land.
If you don't have any ideas don't bitch about what you get.
