Forty five years ago, there were very few deer in my neighborhood, it was a special deal to see any deer, and there were very few deer hunters because odds of success were so slim.

I don't think the DNR is going to be happy until we are back to that scenario again.

Some have ground where they can control things a bit or the ability to make trips out of state to hunt better places, so that is what they will do.
The vast majority of IN hunters do not have this luxury and will be left out in the cold and just have to find another hobby.
