I definately believe that herd reduction in specific areas are a necessity, due to the fact that many states (especially in the south) spent alot of time and money reintroducing deer into certain areas due to an almost depletion of deer in those areas, now the herds(with proper management) are flourishing and the reduction hunts must be utilized to keep that population at a happy medium (especially in congested areas) I believe we will see more of an outcry for herd reduction due to the urban sprawl that is hitting the rural areas ( a major factor in West TN)
If you need contacts for any states game and fish commision heres a link that i found a few months ago while looking for some phone numbers (makes it much easier to have it on one page)
