where I grew up, Prince Edward County, The whole county is an island in Lake Ontario. They had no deer season for decades and the deer overpopulated severely in the 80’s. It was pretty common to drive down a back road and see 75 to 100 deer absolutely raping a field of crops. They finally had to issue a shotgun season to thin the herd. That was 30 some years ago.
Over the last 10 years, the coyotes have exploded so bad that they are considering cancelling the deer season due to low deer population. This video brings back some fond memories of a time of plenty !! Thanks for posting !
