Do most of you understand the Concept of antlerless harvest?

It IS to lower the population!

No more, no less.
Simply curtailing buck harvest will have SAME effect on buck:doe ratio as killing does. So, save that argument. It is to reduce overall numbers and it works very well.


I think you are on to something! And now the DCNR can't figure out how to get out of it! Going from kill 1 buck per day with a few doe days to blast 2 does per day the entire season to offset the 3 buck limit! It's somewhat laughable that they worked their way right into a catch 22 with all of the TV big buck quality deer mismanagement clamour from billybob the mighty hunter groups! The answer I am sure will be more regulations and stupidity, those things that government bureaucracy is good at! Trudge on men we have a problem to create, so we can create a solution!!
