Larry's philosophy is to manage the herd in a fashion similar to beef or poultry farming. The goal is production FOREMOST and thereis never any mature stock.
A manner that also mirrors the trout stocking program except the farming of the stock is done at large. Other than that, there are few differences. Whitetail deer did not live at numbers like that in pre-colonial days. I like to see a wide age class in the deer herd. To hunt them in a natural state. That is why I gavitated to bowhunting. Until I bowhunted, I never realized how whitetails actually acted. Until that time, I thought they ran cross-country with their tongues hanging out at all times.
