Could some areas be overpopulated right now? Could the reason for the harvest being down (2-3%) in the past few years mean there were a few too many?

I'm no expert but I say no. it would become over-populated in some areas and the poor nutrition would cause small racks. You think it would become that overpopulated in just three years?
A healthy deer herd can double in size every two years. We could in no way shape or form handle 150% more deer than we have now.

It can vary dramatically. An agricultural area can support far more deer than expansive areas of mature hardwoods. Mature hardwood habitat can be "maxed out" at 10 deer per square mile. Large-scale agricultural habitat can easily handle 60+ deer per square mile (although the farmers won't like it!).

Honestly, I believe the implementation of Unit L in the highest density areas followed by the '07 EHD outbreak took care of most areas that were over-populated or were approaching over-population.
