We ttp(trap,tag,and process) 350 in one day…cannon netem with a helicopter shootem in the head with a 22 pistol..an load the carcasses on rangers an pickup trucks an transport them to a central location to gut…we had refrigerated trucks loading them up as fast as we killed them to be hauled back to san antonio to feed the homeless…we tried to kill them back with rifles…it did not work very well…too much work… an we coildnt tell a difference…corn a road..150 deer walk out…shootem til you run outa bullets or they just quit comin out of the brush…loadem up by the tractor bucket load…gut til like 4:00am in the mornin…do it again the next day…it turned into a nightmare😐…i didnt have a whole lot to do with the gun part of that operation…but we collectively killed like 2500 deer off 45k acres..and it has to be done about every 2-3 years…just to keepem in check




Years back I was talking with some guys that had culled thousands of deer each and still killing there.
