I feel if population goals have been reached why not try managing for quality. There has to be a constant adjustment of management practices from year to year. Not just one blanket practice year in year out. I'm not talking about the whole state either. But I really believe some areas of the state have the potential to produce some real dandy bucks. I know it's probably just a pipe dream in this state. I remember reading something Leonard Lee Rue wrote about over harvesting an area. He claimed that if you were to kill every single deer in a 5 square mile area. The surplus deer from neighboring areas would migrate to void created.
Am I making any sense???
