Brown is down = meat hunters who shoot any deer that moves, without regard for any sort of local herd management.
"Brown is down" can refer to herd management...if you need to thin the herd everything can be on the menu, but usually does and fawns. Deer on our property are like squirrels...so many with no hunting pressure, even with 5 antlerless tags being filled it won't put a dent in the population.
We will "if it's brown it's down" for the next 2 years most likely in the hope that more bucks will be sighted.
