here's an honest, serious question for you NYB -

what about your neighbors 1 or 2 roads over (or towns even) that had great success and saw many deer?? you have to admit that the deer herd can't be micro-managed on such a small scale. as i have said in the past the herd can vary, regionally and locally, but management has to be a bit broader that by parcel and it won't always mimic everyones's beliefs or relate to their past experience, but on a broader scale will accomplish (or try to accomplish) the desired goal.
