Good post.

Folks also need to understand if you have a lot of deer , you better have a lot of food for them. Does all of these "under populated" areas have the habitat to support a big increase in numbers?

HUNTERS ARE SPOILED.

It's not gonna kill anyone to go on hunts and not see deer. In the early 70s in Jackson Co. the herd was only 10 years from being restocked. If you saw a dozen deer a year it was a good year. If you killed a spike it was a big deal. And when someone killed a 120" buck, we thought it was a state record! Now we have more than plenty, we can shoot 2 does a day up in these mountains and never kill them out, just too much terra with too much area to hide.
