State limits and seasons are set to keep balance. I wil admit taht the deer populaiton in the US has gotten quite out of hand, but I think we should leave the decision making to the Fish and Game department.
I must say I stronglydisagree with this statement!
Not that Im suggesting that anyone should break the law, but the knowledge about the local deer populations is, or should at least be, greater among land owners and hunters so they are the ones that should be responsible for the tag limit decisions. I am convinced that land owners, lumped together into reasonably large areascan improve local herds in term of numbers, antler size and balance. Im sure you will agree that officials are simply doing their job and must take much larger areas into consideration at the expence of concern to a local situation. Whereas the localhunters know that they are the ones to benefit from good locally anchored management plans and will make decisions accordingly.
Sorry about the highjack.
