[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 6749, member: 34"] 6.5 It's the same food plots here now as was here in the 60s and 70s. The deer never moved on their own, they were killed by hunters thanks to the over issuing of doe permits. Main problem was, the PGC gave out to many doe permits and the hunters, instead of "NOT" buying them, did. This lowered the herd drastically. Then every year they would still offer the same amount or more, doe tags. A hunter can't take the attitude that because the Game commision is offering another tag or two, we will buy them. This is simply a way to raise funds for the game commision (at the expense of the deer) and lower your deer herd for the future of hunting. Many young people are not going into the big woods (in this area) in the last few years because, they hunt all day or freeze their rear ends off and not see any deer. Thanks again to over killing of the doe in the past several years. The herd went from large herds to very few deer in a short amount of time like 6 or 7 years. It was starting to recover a bit and then they tripled the amount of doe tags again in this county just two years ago. We are starting to see some decent bucks, thanks to the point restriction but, the total herd numbers are way down. Mountain Man If there are an over abundant amount of deer in your area, then some of the doe should be harvested. I'm against more then ONE tag to be filled per season though. I would like to see an either buck or doe option in the deer season in those heavy deer populated areas and then your hunting is finished when you take "one" or the other. I would also like to see deer check stations (like bear) set up so the game commission knows what the kill is per year. As it is, the PGC is only taking a guess as to what is being killed. How can they issue ANY doe permits when they don't know what has been killed the season before? Many hunters NEVER send in a kill card. I relize that you can't eat the horns but, for every doe you kill, you have on that day, killed three deer because that doe is pregnant and as of late, two deer are born to most doe, sometimes three. Now multiply that per year and you have killed over twenty-four deer in four years had you left that ONE doe live. I would rather hunt harder (either longrange or short range) for a buck as it's MUCH more satisfying to me and it's harder to bag that buck, as we all know. Doe hunting for the most part, is like going out in a farmers field and shooting his cow. I would really like for you guys to be able to see what the herd was in the 60s and 70s. It could be like that again if just half of the hunters refused to buy the doe permits for about 4 or 5 years. Later and good hunting to all. DC [/QUOTE]
