There was a several year period in Pennsylvania where our camp would buy as many antlerless tags as we could get and "burn them".
Our local population rebounded over several years. At the time we were running 15-20 guys and primarily hunting on about 1,000 acres of farm land that was private, but was open to hunting and they gave permission to whoever.
Those properties are leased out now unfortunately. But just because the state issues tags doesn't mean they have to be used. Good luck convincing others to go that route though.
