[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5811152, member: 17"] I would LOVE that! I got to work with a 14,000-acre unhunted property in GA, but unfortunately, we started applying pressure the first year of data collection. I did get to collect some of the most amazing hunter sighting data sets though. Terribly overpopulated deer herd. Fawn recruitment was 5%. First year, deer were everywhere in daylight. You would have to get out of the truck and shoo them off the road to get by. We couldn't acquire special permits to shoot more does than normal hunters are allowed, so we brought in every friend we could find to each shoot their legal 5 does. From the population numbers, we knocked the herd down about 7%. However, the second year, deer sightings [B]declined by 90%[/B]. And they went down every year after. A single year of being hunted and those deer went from city park/zoo deer with no fear of Man, to normal hunted deer that worked hard to avoid humans. [/QUOTE]
