Love them.. we need more.. Fortunately I have hunted all over the US and seen different game management programs... We have lagged... this is the first year that I have not been able to hunt our farm... I always get a deer when I want.. there have been seasons where all I did was thin the does and leave the bucks walk... Which is management... Our farm's carrying capacity is not able to handle the volume of does we now have... the antiquated thinking that we shouldn't hunt does is crazy... does eat too.. simple math is 100,000 does equal 100,000 fawns...but it is actually much higher... mature does throw an average of 2 fawns...

Whether some agree or not Gary Alt was right... no one contradicts his results on bear numbers.. he did that but bear are not the game of choice so he got the time needed to change the population and help the animal.. when he started changing the methodology for hunting to more what one sees in Texas, Ohio, Georgia, or Ill.. we hear all the moaning.. we did not allow him to finish his plan.. Farmers understand carrying capacity and so do wildlife biologists... Yes there would be peaks and valleys but allow someone to complete the plan...

I hear all the crying about no deer and the recent study at Penn State really shows a problem.. deer move due to pressure and if one gets deeper than 1mile the see animals.. it is no different here in the west where I currently live... I shot a very large blacktail in a heavily hunted area where everyone said there was nothing left...

Come on.. You guys re-elected John Murtha back and he called me a redneck and a racist on National TV. he's an idiot.. So we re-elect an idiot and a noted game biologist with an amazing record of accomplishments we pressure out cause he was honest.. Happy Thanksgiving....

he now he can influence all kinds of things which effect you...
