Any child wishing to hunt could either use their supervising hunters tags or pass a hunters education course and present their CC# in exchange for their personal tags until they are 16 when license are required.
Seems like common sense but unfortunately that doesn't exist in our state government.
All mom&pop stores could be tag stations and every tagged deer reported by the store to the state would get a $1 issuance just like they do when they sell a license.


6 doe tags! That's the same as 100 or infinity.

Keep in mind that every lease or hunting camp is not like uours!
Some of us hunt large tracts of land with as few hunters as possible and need to shoot quite a few does just to maintain age structure of the herd. And there are still some areas that can stand excessive doe harvest.
I for one think it's a great practice to shoot twice as many does as you shoot bucks especially when you are trying to maintain a herd.
If you feel 6 is to many you're not require to shoot any but don't tell the guy 2 counties over he cant!!!


None of that really changes the point - that 6 doe tags for every hunter is the same as it is today regarding doe harvest. Like I said - may as well be 100 - it won't change whatever the current doe harvest is today. So - the point is why even spend resources to have doe tags if you are gonna issue that many. May as well just have buck tags and no change to doe harvest regulations. That's the only point I was making. No need to get that defensive and assume there was any other agenda behind it.


6 doe tags should cut the number of does taken. That doesnt mean everyone will shoot all six does. Some people dont shoot does at all and some like me usually take about 2 does a year to eat.
How it really helps is that right now we have a little over 3 months of hunting, lets say 100 days. A doe a day means each hunter can legally kill 100 does. Those are just numbers and no one probably kills that many but i am sure some are killin 30+.
Once the numbers go up in the state, then tag quantities can go up.
