Some say it's the wolves, some say we've shot too many does with the earn-a-buck and herd reduction quotas the DNR has levied on us, some are blaming the cash crop farmers with their seemingly endless supply of crop damage permits, some say your average Joe farmer shouldn't be getting any crop damage permits because he's a hunter too, some say the private land owners are hording all the deer, some say it's baiting and the deer are moving only at night, some say hunters don't drive deer like they did years ago, some say it's because more people are living in rural areas and there is less habitat for the deer to live in, and some are blaming the insurance companies being in cahoots with the DNR and making us shoot all our deer to keep their profits up by not having to fix so many car/deer accident claims.
The real reason was caught on film last month......... Go figure!
