Well us damned hunters would help control deer populations but the gates are always locked lol. The last several good winters have made things pretty good for the deer and the predators up here but fur prices are high so trapping coming back big time-and CWD did arrive in Canada via Colorado-they University there did some research on elk then sold them off after the study was done-so haymaker and O.T. can unknot their panties on this one. There are two ways of doing deer counts by the way-WAG and SWAG-wild assed guess and scientific wild assed guess lol.
