When most predictions were proven false with the deer plan.
When hunter satisfaction is so low it demands nationwide attention.
When it get so bad it prevents funding for management.
When it gets so bad it caused legislative intervention & demanding of audits.
When it gets so bad deer management team leaders had to wear bullet proof vests...
When it gets so bad sportsmen are suing the commission.
Those are all subtle hints that alls not well with the management.
But as long as all that equates to unnatural unnecessary levels of biodiversity, some environmentalist types would probably call that proper "modern" management.
