I live in a region that averages 30-45 dpsm , and that's way too many , so our DNR has designated these counties as reduction counties with increased antlerless limits that don't affect your seasonal bag limit .

"Correct" dpsm is relative to the forage available , and 25 sounds high for nearly anywhere . You also have to remember that the hunting show you watched was more than likely shot at a managed facility with huge food plots or other manipulated forage , and probably supplemental feeding as well . Hardly representative of average conditions . Don't believe everything you hear on tv , they're trying to sell you something .
