Doe Permits
I can understand the frustration especially with those that hunt in the QDM areas this year and the reality is most of those 90% will not even see a buck of 6 points or more to shoot at and no doe permits after spending a big amount of money what $ 100 for a super sportsmens will turn off alot of hunters this year.As I mentioned before the DEC is selling hunters an illusion to increase their revenus Been doing it for years. Most hunters have 2 or more deer tags.Many have 4 or 5 tags and never fill 1/2 of em.Thats because there are not enough deer to fill all those tags.But the DEC will keep coming up with more ways to offer more permits.Next will be a Crossbow permit priviledge for $20-$30 and along with that they will offer another deer tag with it knowing full well their are not enough deer to justify extra permits
Back in the ole days you got 1 Buck tag and if you were real lucky could get a group doe permit with 3 other hunters to share 1 doe. And the cost of licenses then were very reasonable and the amont of permits given out reflected a true picture of deer herd size.
Not so today.Its pure greed and time for a different agency to oversee our wildlife
