When it comes to managing the herd , habitat is far more important than what an individual choses to shoot.
If hunters in general spent more money on land and less on gadgets the benefits to the herd would be immeasurable.
To back up my own opinion with a few facts.

The suburbs, meanwhile, keep sprawling. By one estimate, 2.2 mil-lion wild acres are developed each year. "We're encroaching more and more into the deer's environment," says Keith Knapp, director of the University of Wisconsin's Deer-Vehicle Crash Information Clearinghouse. "This is a big problem."


Two point two million per year! Where are your kids gonna hunt?
Even more clear as to why land is becoming one of the best investments you can make. Buy as much as you can...and hang on to it.
