Yes, he absolutely could feed his family on does. That was my point exactly. This guy was saying this is the end of hunting, and that AR's are just a way of handcuffing the law abiding citizen. Yes, the DOC intended to up the harvest of does. But, I stand by my statement of increasing revenue, and this is why. Look at Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois. Those are 3 of the most popular deer hunting destinations this side of Texas. Why? Because they hold monster whitetails. Out of state tags, as you know, are considerably more expensive than resident tags. The state has "sold" nothing more to a NR, thus increasing revenue. Perhaps this is just an added bonus, and was never the real intent of the DOC.
