So in other words,these dead deer that are required to get checked in are just being made up?No one is saying there's a high deer density on that property.Twenty deer per square mile,give or take a few is not a high deer density for seeing loads of deer but it's about all the habitat can take in most areas in 2G.Thing is,hunters were used to hunting at such ridiculous deer densities that they were spoiled
So , now the habitat can support 20 DPSM while awhile ago you were claiming the habitat was controlling the herd at less than 10 DPSM. I wish you would make up your mind. A lot of todays hunters never saw the high deer densities of the early 70's and since then very few NC counties had herds of over 30 DPSM. So ,a lot of hunters were used to seeing relatively few deer and now they are seeing even less.
