I love when someone uses the Paintbrush example. We aren't rich, but have large acreage, just under 4998 acres. I know that what somebody does 50 miles from me affects the number of deer on my place, so the '' let me manage my land '' , deal doesn't hold water.
ALL WILDLIFE and LAND IS CONNECTED UNLESS IT IS FENCED. That's like saying if a nuke goes off in Atlanta, We're good because it happened in Atlanta??
On almost 5000 acres, I am lucky now to get more than 12 deer per 4 camera sets any time of the year. The only constant in that compared to years ago is the removal of female deer at an accelerated pace!!!
