So it's different from one of the many books he's written and videos he's made????
You might want to read it, it's a little different than you are assuming

I see none of those as concerns of a typical average hunter.

Avoid over population
To have less mv/deer collisions
To avoid the spread of disease
To have less crop damage..........................
ORIGINAL: gobblegetterNY
Possibly overall herd health???

What other reason would we manage them for?

I think Kroll would have everyone do it like the Texas fenced in joints do. Most of his recent books have been on "Growing and Harvesting Big Bucks", Food plot production etc etc. Not all bad, but if he has everyone fencing and controlling the deer then everyone will end up behind walls. Well everyone with 10 or 20 thousand dollars to spend on a deer hunt. The minute people start talking about "Managing the herd" I see hunting going further from it's roots and further from the hunting I love. I know.... it's me, but I like it like it is in nature, not the way it is inside a fence with food plots, breeder stock and managing. Bag limits and all are a necessity, but we need biologist setting them, not some politician.

RE: Dr Kroll "The next 25 years"
I'm surprised to see hunter numbers down, I know here every Tom, Dick, and Harry is an expert deer hunter, I mean literally everybody hunts and every square foot of land seems like it is overhunted. They say our hunter numbers are down, maybe overall but not deer hunters. It seems to get worse every year too. But they are what keeps our sport so strong also so is it good or bad? I can see it both ways.
