CNC so you are ok with the age structure the state wide herd has? I am not. I believe hunters would enjoy hunting more if the age structure was older. Just look at the SOA hunts and how excited the guys get about hunting those areas. Most, maybe all, of those areas have antler restrictions designed to let younger bucks live. Guys get excited about those areas because they know they have a good chance of seeing or killing a good quality buck. I know there are rules in these areas to limit pressure somewhat and that helps too but I think mainly it’s the antler restrictions that are keeping the younger deer from being killed that helps. If I were making decisions in the DCNR I think that is the first thing I would explore. That and limiting doe harvest. Some places need more does taken than others, but it would be a good start I think
