I personally believe the overall deer population is in jeopardy of not recovering if there isn't some serious reversal of the liberal doe harvest rules we have in place in the majority of the state....and SOON! With ever increasing coyotes--trigger happy "hunters"--and lazy dumb ass biologists there is little chance for the population to sustain itself. Read the latest study done at Ft. Rucker for all the doubters. Max harvest of over 600 deer in one season and was only 50 last year. This has been one of the most consistently cold winters with a below average acorn crop yet I can go days without seeing a single deer. I know- I know it's just me and I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
