Those people in Indy have degrees in subjects such as game management and deer biology , how about you ? They survey the deer population statewwide as well as county by county , how about you ? They set the county bag and state bag based on their ongoing research and the population of deer in each county , how about you ? My county , Harrison , allows 8 bonus antlerless because we're averaging 30-45 deer per square mile , far beyond the carrying capacity . Before you cuss the very people you're paying to manage the herd you should try meeting them and talking with them first , they know way more than you think they do , and a hell of a lot more than you ever will .
