[QUOTE="NodakBuckeye, post: 116551, member: 714"] I can see a little of both but for the most part, folks finding dozens of dead deer would have only had more carcasses to remove if fewer tags were available. The herd in many areas would have probably been better served with more aggresive management to remove more animals to lower competition on resources for the remaining animals to better survive, have better chances at a higher body condition score and better recruitment. Seems to me a perfect storm of shitty circumstances- harsh winters, over abundance, lack of resources, midges, and on n on. In my sometimes feeble mind, I think the deer herd here was kept artificially high for several years and the crash was inevitable, even with the g & f trying to bring it down, they could have really put the screws to it to get down to nore realistic numbers and maybe smoothed the crash [/QUOTE]
