Yep sproul. Hunters.
BUT I hunt a private land "zoo" too. Some days/seasons are worse than others, but I can typically gain myself space by heading for the thickest cover. It's too small to "out hike" anyone. I sit in the thick stuff & kill deer while most others hunt fields & where they can see. We have enough deer that they still usually see some, but they are running 500 mph and are tough to hit.
the PGC needs to close deer hunting on their SGL land for a few years.
then get a good estimate how many deer are on there and only allow so many tags to hunt deer there,IF THEY WANT TO HAVE DEER .
otherwise, its more of same, BEST HABITAT IN WORLD AND WORST HUNTING OF DEER/GROUSE/SQUIRREALS/RABBITS,yes rabbits, those rabbit hunters day in day out can clean a area right out.
i once was a rabbit hunter, i know what has happened.
RSB said it right on rabbits,the farms is one reason for less rabbits, over killing by hunters,predators,years ago a rabbit hunter would shoot a cat or owl, not now.
but you have great habitat in sgl and very few rabbits,WHY , because habitat IS great and that is where the pressure was put on rabbits by hunters and predators.
