I see an ironic problem looming ahead in areas like the one you describe above Doug. Hunter pressure seems to have dropped considerably in the big woods areas where HR did what it needed to do and now the herd may be at risk of rebounding too far without enough hunter harvest to keep the herd in balance with the habitat once again. I can see even more DMAPS etc popping up in the future
That is precisely what I predicted would happen ,as a result of the PGC's over harvesting of the herd. Remember, I said it was the PGC's responsibility to manage both the hunters and the herd.
