Population doubles every 3 years.....even choppers won't get them all...will just be harder to find them in slips so will have to learn to bush hunt for those that can't already.....

Agree they will have to out pressure on farms

May I suggest a level of care is needed when making such statements. Population doubling every three years is subject to so many things. That should be qualified. It also varies species to species too. I would also suggest that the issue we are discussing is not about killing enough to try and change the views of those who would have every game animal gone. This is a way bigger topic than simply needing to kill more to get the antis on side. What is needed is for people to rationally and kindly come to a collective decision where no one is really happy but the animal numbers are being managed proactively in line with the environment for a long term solution.
