Those deer will swim to higher ground before drowning in one place.... 60% is silly.

Very sad, My heart holds a special memory for Presidents Island.
I would close it for 10 years, do a study and go from there. It can be the special place that it once was in due time. Freeze the drawings where they are at now and resume, when its opened back up for drawed hunts

I drove down there this afternoon. Saw deer hanging out and eating in places they shouldnt be, little islands of concrete, or patches of high grass right next to the road. I'm sure they're pretty stressed,but I'm sure they'll be fine. The thinning of the herd might actually benefit it in the long run.

I took a drive down to the Island this afternoon two. Saw the same thing you saw as well BigAl. I didnt see any other deer other than those on those mounds of concrete/dirt with a couple of turkeys as well. I know there has to be some negative impact on the population. Struck me as pretty sad driving off the Island. Ive seen many of beautiful bucks in that same area.
