VT managed its deer herd for quantity for decades and it did not work out well in the long run.
I disagree. VT manged it's deer herd for license sales and not the quantity. They continued with doe permits after a couple of really tough winters that decimated the herd and still allowed people to take up to three deer a year. The ironic thing is that the plan has back fired. Everyone knowsall aroundNew England that the herd is way down and they (and their money) are going else where.
