Feeding and baiting are two different things. Providing more food (feeding) for the deer may improve the population. Baiting deer concentrates those in a given area but doesn't increase the population. Rocky's situation is that the deer numbers have not necessarily increased in the area, they are just concentrated at the golf course now. How would you feel if the neighbor at your lease fed heavily because they could afford it, pulled deer in from the surrounding areas including your lease, then got TPWD involved to say they could kill whatever they want to get the numbers back down on "their place" to "normal" numbers?

Game Warden buddy stoped by the house this evening after having to deal with homeowners st Land’s End that are infuriated by this trapping program. He simply has to tell them that permits were issued and everything is legit. Seems like a group of landowners sort of railroaded this through without complete transparency to others. Pretty ugly deal right now.

If you care as much as it appears, the only hail Mary I can think of is to video the trapping and follow them to the slaughter house. Post the video and get peta or some other hippies involved to protest. They prevented those wild mustang's from being rounded up didn't they?
Also maybe you could use a FOIA request to get the biologist reports and surveys, counts etc. Maybe can poke holes that they have not adequately assessed there is a population concern or health risk posed to the deer.

I need to make a list and when some of you start complaining about the neighbors killing too many deer, shooting 3.5yo 8's with 13.5" spread I can point you back to this thread and tell you karma is a *****
Should be a state law that if you live in a subdivision with lots less than 10ac you cannot feed anything but birds
That would stop a bunch of these types of situations from ever getting to the point this has gotten to
