I am not missing anything. We own a small parcel of land and In the past I owned 87 acres and learned you can't control the number of deer there will be on that small a parcel of land. You can do all the habitat improvement you want ,but if you hunt it hard ,you will still drive the deer onto adjoining properties.

Furthermore, there are many options available for the individual hunter ,but I am concerned about the future of deer hunting for the average hunter , not the individual hunter. If you don't care about the average hunter ,then don't bother engaging in these discussions ,because they are about the statewide deer management plan, rather than about what the individual hunter can do with 50-150 acres of land.
