All over the West - mule deer herds are suffering because of the actions of Game Managers. The only significant obstacle standing between how it is now and large, healthy deer herds is the "modern" management philosophy.

The next most harmful notion is that reducing opportunity for human consumption is the only solution.
Everything but the real culprit gets the blame. Some examples: the weather, loss of habitat, poaching, too much grass. And the list goes on.
The REAL CULPRIT is MANAGEMENT
