Extreme northern California used to have very good blacktail deer populations. For various reasons that population has crashed. But facing a revenue reduction the CDF&G still continues to sell 2 buck tags per hunter. The folks down south who don't know, say, whoa, look here, there must be deer up there...it's a 2 buck zone. So with high hopes they travel north, tags in hand and hopes in their heart. Success numbers have been in the basement for 7 to 10 years, so yes the woods are overpopulated...but not with deer.
