RE: Let 'em go and let 'em grow!!!!!!!!!!!
That might be a good way to get trophy deer (debatable actually) but it may not be the best way to manage a herd in a particular area.
I highly doubt you will wipe out the deer in your area, at least not where I live. What could happen though is you may pass up too many looking for that perfect mature deer that the population will get out of control and you will either get more crop damage or not have enough food sources to handle the game and they will get sick, which will kill of your deer.
I'll tell you what. You manage the deer the way you want to where you live and I will shoot whatever the DNR tells me I should shoot where I live.
My take on it anyway.
