So what do you think is going to happen to this big boy when he is located on 600 to 800 square miles of state forest land that is all open to hunting and easily accessible?

"Easy access" to 800 square miles of public forest land? In that scenario it would have to criss-crossed with roads, like a housing development, for any real pressure to take place.
