Killer:

The problem with the area I hunt is......NOT ENOUGH PREDATORS. By this....I mean.....NOT ENOUGH HUNTERS. I have sole permission to hunt the areas I hunt....and we need to take more deer. The deer have a safe haven in the form of a county park that doesn't allow hunting. So.....they congregate in there. I'm betting some deer grow up and die of old age in there....only coming out at night to feed on the mast crops that are likely sucked up pretty quickly in their core area.

I just cringe to think they're starving.....but I guess some do. They'r enot in MY yard a lot (though they do come into my yard, some), but I know people who can't have garens due to their browsing habits.

I might change my mind, next year, and do 2 food plots. My guess is they'd become dependent upon them for food, too. I'm at a loss as to what to do to help....other than kill more of them. I take NO pleasure in killing. None. I know I need to take my limit, though. I wish I could take more (take more people in with me).
