Very few hunters own enough land to effectively manage the herd and it is illogical to expect individual to manage the herd when they have no control over what other hunters do in the same area.
Yes thisis true, not many people control large tracts of land. But how many times have you herd I was out and hunted all week and shot the one or two deerI saw? I know if I hunted a week and saw one or two deer I would be laying off the trigger for a few years until things picked up. We are the last step to completing the management plan layed out by the PGC by pulling the trigger. Just my opinion. but I think we can have an effect onwhen and where deer get shot.
very well said.
we saved a doe/fawn that was in area i hunt.
the second day of deer season, in came a crew with kids and shot the doe/fawn.
4 th day in came crew and shot 3 small bucks that we saw ,of course it was juniors who shot them, right.
this was about all deer i saw in this area which is about 2 miles ,maybe 3 miles.
after season i saw 3 sets of tracks in snow, so i would say 3 deer got away.
now, what are we to have if those people come back in and shoot off those 3 which may have fawn with them this year.
this is why we can never have anything if hunters keep doing this..
its no wonder 4 hunters were mad when they saw that mother/fawn shot,they were real mad over it.
these idiots that keep on killing until nothing is left and then move on to another area .
here is another one.
i have friend who hunted, lets say for 30 years.
he saw good days and killed many buck..
i saw him last year and he had eyes as big as golfballs.
he yelled out window of his car, HEY JOHN, I GOT A BIG DOE.
now we are getting excited to kill doe after hunting for 30 years.i thought he was going to pee his pants in car.
i could see a 12 yr old kid getting all glassy eyed but a hunter of 50 yrs old.
now that the deer are hard to get and very few,some are being MACHO and becoming the great HUNTER.
oh yes, even hunter of 30 years killing doe today is talk of town..
as paul harvey says,GOOD DAY!
