They list our sandy soil conditions as a large part of the reason. It makes for poor nutrients in the plants and trees. Another bigger problem is the competition for food down here. Hogs eat and use the same habitats as deer and hogs are more aggressive and thrive off of the plant life due to sheer consumption. On top of that, they are known to kill fawn. Then add in our other large predators for deer… Bob cat, panthers, gators, bears, many snakes including 12’ plus python. A very healthy hunting population. Deer down here face a lot of trouble growing to maturity
I forget about the pythons and panthers down there. I can't imagine hunting where there's a risk of a snake big enough to give me a death hug lurking around.
Nor can I imagine hunting while I'm being hunted by a big cat! Gators don't scare me. Big cats? To heck with that noise.
Oh, and, go gators! Lol
