When does the pressure for proper herd management cross the line and take away from the enjoyment of the hunting experience?
I would say when you aren't really hunting and are basically just being an exterminator............I would not take any enjoyment from that whatsoever.
"proper herd management" is a myth IMO........just a politically correct way of cloaking our selfish motives.
Can a guy just go out and hunt, shoot a few deer and call it a season, and not feel guilty that he didn't do everything in his power to fix the herd?
Yes.............I have been doing it for 20 years.
