Your answer is actually quite simple. The hunters on your list obviously have figured out how to adapt and would not all be hunting that same area.
Once again you are flat out wrong. here is what happens when 52K + hunters hunt the same are and produce a harvest that exceeds recruitment.


Year antlered harvest antlerless harvest harvest PSM antlerless allocation

2003 10,110 20,370 7.4 52,000 2.55 tags/deer
2004 6,400 13,100 4.7 52,000 3.95 tags/deer
2005 5,000 6,200 2.7 29,000 4.70 tags/deer
2006 7,200 4,600 2.8 19,000 4.10 tags/deer
2007 5,100 6,600 2.8 26,000 3.94 tags/deer
2008 6,800 6,500 3.2 26,00


As you can see the harvest in 2g dropped from 30+K in 2003 to 13+K in 2008 solely due to the effects of HR and ARs.
