[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 202032, member: 1"] Sam Since I have hunted on private land always, I guess I never thought about the T-Zone and Earn-a-buck issues from the point of view of the public land hunter. Have there been any attempts to pinpoint deer density differences on public vs private land? And by the way, in the Oshkosh paper, Pat Durkee (sp) recently quoted DNR stats as saying only one county or DMU was at 2.0 ratio. All others were well below if I recall his numbers. Did you read that article? Have you seen any stats on this statement? By the way, my son and I now hunt a friend's Waupaca County land and we can't figure out why there are so many deer in that neighborhood compared to Waushara County where we hunted private land for 14 years previously. Two weeks ago my friend counted 80 deer out in fields within one mile of his house. We took 15 deer off his 300 acre land last season. It sure sounds like a war zone over there on opening weekend so it's hard for me to think there aren't enough hunters around to harvest the deer on the mostly private land in the neighborhood. I just can't figure it out. Where do you hunt? [/QUOTE]
