Hardwood, some people are just hard headed. I get the point he is attempting to show, but its not pratical. And no matter what, the DNR attempts to manage accordingly, they cant plan extreme winter kills.. How about hail storms that drop baseball size hail or bigger, I have seen that kill deer... There are factors out there that cant be controlled. But deer are strong animals, and will survive. I remember my grandpa telling me stories of hunting deer in the very first Iowa deer season, guess how many deer were around then... Obviously, numbers are lower than the "glory" years we have had in the past...and maybe seeing only 3-4, and sometimes even none is dissapointing. But if I was to bet, in awhile we will end up with a surplus again, and be going through a different struggle...just my opinion I guess
