the other factor that isnt taken into account is the ability of foot hunters is way ahead of what it was...rangefinders and dialup using people CAN do the job much better than way back in deep dark ages IF they choose to do so....personally I dont target thar....prefer eating venison so hunt deer areas BUT if we happen to trip over one it goes home and into pot. the chopper is such an efficent tool for control the animal numbers wont ever get way out of whack again its too easy for search n destroy to lower them back down,,,,maybe we are seeing the first major tweak for a long time I mean there has been more than one article in last few years telling us we need to shoot a few more deer as numbers were creeping up..the increase in venison price has lowered numbers quite drastically in places...with any luck the big bulls that have learnt to live in the scrub have passed on the cunning and we will still see plenty of animals around once the thud of rotor blades has passed by again.
interesting /suspicious as hell that this is happening right now WHILE the WARO fight/review is going on...maybe they want to get in and hit the herd numbers hard just incase things dont go the way they hope and they have wings clipped as it were.
