Default RE: Public land hunters in Wisconsin

Well, I do technically hunt on private land (80 acres) but we're surrounded by hunting groups too large for the amount of land they have (8 people per 40) and a lot of public land, and I've seen a huge drop in our deer numbers. We're not earn-a-buck--and I don't think we should be. It doesn't help that we've got neighbors that shoot anything and everything that moves, and other neighbors that poach...so I guess I can't necessarily blame the poor population on the DNR.
