Visiting a place is way different than buying chunks of wild lands, developing, building mansions, and driving up real estate costs for the local average joe working class folks....
Bringing the "population under control" is the debatable part here. What does that even mean or look like? Way different for everyone, managing for social carrying capacity, not biological
I kinda agree with Matt......in my neck of the woods the crowding centers more around fishing and I agree a lot is driven by social media, being a pro-staffer, and trying to sell more shit. The hunting influencer bro culture also bothers me as that becomes more influential in shaping the future...

Camping on a lake when I was younger with friends. Girls in one tent insisted something was right outside there tent, and big. Upon investigation, we found our it was a toad rubbing against the tent fabric. Back to sleep and about an hour later we hear something crashing through the woods and...
Whenever I was working on a project my grandpa would always come over and say "you know what a guy could do......." and he was usually right
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day"
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"
"If you meet an a-hole in the morning, then you probably met an...
Wisconsin Outdoor News puts out a western hunting preview that reads like that. I should try and find one of them and post it, I'm sure some would get a kick out of it
