Very well thought out analogy. Not to make light of any of this, but in my humble opinion, based on the example above, "...Houston, we have a problem...". No effective way to speculate how many parcels are in a square mile, and/or how many well meaning hunters are on any given parcel... I AGREE "10 does per hunter" is a ridiculous number, in almost any area!! What is the fix??
Not in plantation country around here. Towards the end of the season they`ll have hunts where 75 to 100 does are killed, every year. They have to do this to keep the herd in check.
