Honestly i am not a horn hunter. I could care less if you shoot a monster or a smaller buck. I would like to see either doe tags or doe days or something along those lines. Prefer doe tags. Don't get me wrong I am ok with killin a couple does, just not one every single day for the whole season. In my area anyway we just arent seeing many deer period, bucks or does. In the past 2 years i have probably about 50 hunting trips and have seen a total of about 8 deer. Cameras show a couple more but not many.
A whole lot of guys i have talked to that hunt hard have similar situations.
I Realize that is not the same everywhere and so many different factors come into play but there is less deer.
So the motivation for me is wanting to bring the numbers of deer up and ensure the next generation can see plenty of deer and enjoy hunting and eatin some good venison. I could care less about growing monster racks.
I am by no way trying to say tags will solve everything or are the solution that works best for this state. But it is always good to have a discussion about things and see everyones point of view and ideas. I can learn something from everybody.
