[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5246367, member: 17"] You needed to be with me when I started working deer management in the Southeast, especially the Deep South. Browse lines like I never hope to see again. And I saw them in western TN as well, but not as severe as in the Deep South (primarily Alabama and Mississippi). Luckily, QDM was adopted much more thoroughly by hunters than I ever imagined. That has greatly improved herd densities across the region since the "bad old days" of the early 2000s. Have some taken doe harvests too far? Absolutely. You can shoot the deer density down below desirable numbers from a hunting standpoint real quick. But I have also seen properties where animal quality sky-rocketed after deer densities were reduced to a biologically sound level. In fact, I can say with good conviction that we are seeing the fruits of that in much of TN now. [/QUOTE]
