It all depends on the terrain you hunt.
Our land has continued to have diversity for 18 years now...along with the surrounding areas. If you are hunting a majority of planted pines, the deer will disappear when the pines get tall enough to shade out the browse. No food equals no deer.
And I don't know a soul that has taken 10+ deer in one season. We kill about 15-20 on our 525 acres and it doesn't decimate the population. Once we get to a certain number of deer taken, we slow down on the does. And our neighbors aren't shooting that much.
Good grief, there are plenty of deer in GA, but they are where the food is. Evaluate what type of terrain your land consists of and the surroundings and you'll probably learn a lot about if the deer should be there. If they should and they aren't, then those few can complain.
