When the herd gets to an unsustainable level then the state needs to step in and allow PROPER culling, like they have done in the past on long island. People with disabilities, wounded warriors, archery only, etc, etc, I'm sure they could have come up with something better than to just open it up to the public so people with high powered rifles can literally walk up to Bambi and blow them away with their 30-06...No real sportsmen would want to do it this way...
