In the past we had fewer hunters and more land. I'll stop short of saying we don't have as many deer today, instead I'll just say I have a lesser experience and see fewer deer today than I did "in the past". Point is you COULD have just had anarchy back then, and we DID for the most part....you could kill a buck a day for 3.5 months, and by and large the population grew. That's not feasible today, in fact it's wreckless and devastating. And this brings up another argument...I wish folks would quit this false talk of "we gotta get more people into hunting, or we're gonna lose the sport!" We're so oversaturated with hunters now that only a select few can have a quality experience. I wish it was the 80's all over again.
I'd like to see us start looking at some of our land uses and trying to merge things more like cattle and wildlife to produce more quality habitat.....We've lost a lot of wildlife habitat due to other uses
