Sounds like the same complaints we hear in PA, since the decision was finally made to lower herd numbers in 2000.
It was great while it lasted, but we once did have far too many deer here and it never should've been allowed to happen. Unlike WI, we haven't been hit with CWD...yet. It's on both sides of us, north and south, as CWD has been confirmed in NY and WV.
I can only comment on a friend's observations, who lives in Dane County, WI. He recounted how the doe were slaughtered some years ago, in efforts to quickly reduce deer numbers due to CWD in that area. According to him, deer hunting hasn't been the same since. But I haven't heard him complain much about the changes.
