    I prefer facts I and other people see on the ground instead of "reports" written by what nowadays can only be classified as ideologues.

    Are you saying that your anecdotal evidence is more robust than scientific research?
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    I am saying that "Science" that only regards data that verifies one set narrative, and disregards the reat isn't science.

    I know individuals that undertook some of those studies, mind-numbing work but provided sound data. The only problem is that there are vast tracts of land in private ownership that haven't been studied which hold animal numbers that would blow the minds of many on this forum. Just one station here in Marlborough culled over 1300 deer onlt a few years ago and are contemplating another operation. They might not get the same number of animals again but they'll come close. And theres other properties in the region with similar problems with deer and goats. There is one station now planted in pines for ETS, Trap & Trigger have shot many hundreds of animals there but they will never stop infill from surrounding areas.
