Taz, the desities vary a lot depending on the area. For most of the state it's around 20 to 25 per square mile. Areas of limited hunting, like more populated areas it can bea lot more. That's where the real problem arises. The PGC wants these deer taken down to a more sustainable level, but either the areas are almost too densely populated with people or getting permission to hunt can be rough.
Frankly I'm in favor of trying Alt's theory. Right or wrong, it's betteer than anyone else has come forth with for decades. Especially the Antler Restrictions. What most hunters are going to have to realize is that it's not "brown is down" anymore. They may have to actually take a "look" at what they are planning on shooting.
