Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you think the government is killing off the deer

I don't think most DNR agencies are killing deer, but they're not doing them any favors.

You should see the mule deer decline in the west. Its enraging. Still killing does, and still offering the 4th season buck tags which focuses on mature bucks. Our state decided the chronic wasting myth is a real concern, so their attitude is to kill them before the disease could.

At the end of the day, hunters kill more deer than other predators, so maybe us hunters should blame ourselves.
