Totally agree. But what's the solution? Dmp? What are we trying to find a solution to?......Shooting too many does?.....Then go back to some broad scale doe days in certain areas. They seemed to work just fine the first time around and didn’t require all kinds of specific data to be gathered. I don’t think we were doing nearly as bad as it was made out to be when someone hollered snake and said we were all over populated. Now because of that bad decision, it’s being made out to be that we need to completely re-invent the wheel to fix it. We have swung the pendulum back and forth to either extreme and now are trying to say that we need a new way. Maybe we just didn’t need to swing the pendulum back so far the first time. Opening up a 2 a day free for all may have been the problem. Maybe we should have tried a more moderate approach first. High end deer management on everyone’s property through intense hunter management on the government’s part is not a goal that the state should be trying to provide us. Every single hunter might not have top notch deer hunting on their properties due to numerous factors but it just is what it is....More intense management should be a function of individual co-ops. The solution to breaking it down to site specific management. Even then the hunters have different goals requiring different techniques. What I believe happened when they swung the pendulum to 2 does a day they didn't know and couldn't know the affects predators(coyotes) would have in the equation. The coyote population was and is still growing the best I can tell. Just look at the coyote kill thread from this last season. That was some good data for them and all of us. And as always, they have to gather info and that sets it back years where we the hunters want instant correction. ONCE AGAIN, I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MY AREA AND THE WAY ITS BEEN. To the East, West, and South of Chief Dodds house there is a big farmer who doesn't allow coyotes to be shot. Says they will kill more deer than the hunters ever will and he would rather have coyotes than deer around his crops. He has hunters (non-lessors, just his son and friends) but about 2 times a season they bring a large group for a doe killing. No bucks allowed. Says if you let this group shoot bucks they will pass on the does hoping for a buck and end up killing nothing.
