Yep, the links pretty much show just what you said bb. On one link i see Decalesta whining about having an increase and ballooning to a whopping 14 dpsm and they are increasing the impact on the habitat.

And on the same link The HUGE declines in harvest are depicted just as you stated.

In the survey link in 2007 is said that 77.8% of those surveyed said they thought there were too few deer.

In 2008 even though they only surveyed the SUCCESSFUL hunters, over half STILL said there were too few deer.

In 2008 55.6% surveyed said the habitat looked the same or worse...not Better, despite all the extreme reduction.
