Considering that in the midwest a lot of places are overrun with deer, it's probably not a bad idea. Earlier this year in one 5 week span, my brother hit 3 with his truck. They definitely need thinned out in a lot of places.

If you're looking at balancing the the herd, consider restricting everyone on the property to one buck per year (in some states, this is a law - very smart). Also, fill every doe tag that you can. I've hunted areas before that were so unbalanced, seeing a buck after the first 3 days of gun season was unthinkable. Does however, were everywhere. What is the buck to doe ratio when you don't see any bucks, and an average of 20 to 30 does per day? Kill off as many does as legally possible, bring the population down to reasonable levels, and balance the herd (where needed).
