I participated in a suburban controlled bowhunt where the deer density, as determined by FLIR, was almost 100 DPSM in an 8 square mile township. They had over 200+ deer collisions per year.

Expecting those kind of deer densities will not only wreck our forests and ruin our farmers financiallyit will turn the entire non hunting public against hunters for wanting it.

Make no misatke about it, the only reason hunting has survived this far in our politically correct urbanized society, is that the VAST non hunting majorityviews us as a necessary evil. If we lose that position in their minds, our sport is toast! Demanding deer densities beyond a natural balance will do just that eventually.
