Agree with you to a point. With deer, you def gotta weed em out so to speak. Also geese, that's why they set "conservation hunts" at the end of the season. With limited access to land for deer hunters, duck hunters, etc. only so many can go do it, deer can hide in woods and over produce and not much you can do about it unless you own that piece of land.
Fish are not in that same category. Fishing is public, anyone and everyone can go if they so desire. Also, Nature does a better job of keeping fish populations in check. Then add in the fishing pressure and sometimes nature can't keep up. Fact. Seems LDWF is more protective over the state's game animals than it is over its aquatic bretheren.
