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.

"Brown is down" is essentially the same as deciding that the rules imposed by the state are sufficient for managing the herd in a given location without imposing additional restrictions.

Saying that "brown is down" isn't management is equivalent to saying that the governing authorities who set the rules are incompetent and have not properly applied management principles in setting the rules the way they have.

Do we really need to have additional rules at the local property level to say we are managing the herd? Is there nowhere in Louisiana where the state's rules are sufficient management?
