[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 767966"] BSK, I agree with this 100%. My complaint and I think others on here is outlined very well is the same issue of QDM. I don't have the issue with me so all of this is from memory and I apoligive if a number is slightly off. I'm sure you have read. Basically the sudy focused on 2 areas of Michigan. One more rural than the other. The rural area had 7 properties within a bucks average home range and the more populated study area had 17 properties owners on average within a bucks's home range. I have property In rutherford County Tenn. A yearly buck that uses 17 properties stands such a small chance to survive that we dont have a realistic expectation at a 3.5 yr old. I strongly feel a buck harvest reduction limit for the whole state or at least for the high hunter densitity areas there would be tremendous benefit in the age class. Whats my answer other than to buy land elsewhere? We have plenty of deer its just every 200 yards of ridge has a hunter and they all fee if they don't shoot it the guy 200 yds down will so why not! I know a cooperative would greatly. I would just like to see the state lead the way! [/QUOTE]
