The main thing that we face in Louisiana is over population and food.
In your case I can understand what you are saying, however here it is far from that problem. We have a lot of room for our deer herd to grow in. The feed for them is there as well, with our wood cutting and all else combinded it could not be better for them. Predators and snow is the biggest problem for them, as well as poachers.
Also it sounds like someone needs to do some predator management up there.
You are right on the money with this one, but, do to the save the wildlife groups and the feds our program has been put on hold for the last three years. Now they are trying to attack the trappers here saying protected spieces need more protection. Like wolves and the eastern mountain lion that the state says are not even here. So anyone can figure this one out,
we have a hugh problem up in this neck of the woods.
