I've seen so many things wrong with this thread that I would take a week to point them out. This is a joke of a discussion in terms of management.
Can't even believe it was suggested that "brown and down" is management. That's not management. Just call it what it is, and that is hunting for meat. If you kid yourself that that is management, you don't know anything about wildlife management.
Also the idea of anything being "mine" is laughable. There is a court case that set the precident for wildlife as a public trust. Wildlife is public property (unless its "W"s big lake trout

).
Yes, managing deer on 40 acres is pretty much impossible. One deer wont call that home in most cases, much less a herd. I can't believe this thread has made it as long as it has.
