[QUOTE="KDM, post: 196346, member: 314"] THIS is the number one reason we fight over deer IMO!!!! Habitat destruction is rampant and I don't see it changing. The deer carrying capacity is a fraction of what it was 20 years ago. No question about it. A buddy had to take down two stands this fall because the landowner dozed down both shelterbelts. One was 30 yards wide and 600 yards long and the other was a two row about 700 yards long. It was sad to see. Last week looked like the county had been bombed with all the sloughs on fire. I don't understand what good that does, but it's not my land. Without food habitat, winter becomes even more lethal. When the landscape looks like the surface of the moon, January and February kills everything, not just deer and other game animals. If there are only 5 acres of good cover per square mile, it's not hard for Hunters or any other predator for that matter to find the game. However, I don't tell others what to do with their property as I don't like anyone telling me what to do with mine. My only option is to take care of my land the best I can and leave others to do what they think is best on their land. [/QUOTE]
