Considering the CWD situation Wisconsin has your DNR is doing your herd a favor by reducing their numbers drastically. The further apart deer are the slower the rate that the disease can be transmitted. Your annecdotal accounts of deer numbers, and those you've surveyed at BBs are no substitute for proper field counts by trained biologists. You're probably wrong, and so are your online buddies since you each see only a very small slice of the state. "The way things used to be" is the primary reason why your state took such drastic actions, once your herd becomes overpopulated and simultaneously exposed to a serious pathogen it's in danger of total collapse. Before you send that letter you'd be wise to consult your state or district deer biologist to see what's really going on rather than going off half ****ed, they get paid to answer your questions, and they exist to serve the public.
