Default RE: NYSDEC is a joke

ORIGINAL: tj_cubin
what i dont get is how doe tags are used to control populations, yet every NY hunter can shoot at least one buck. A doe can produce two off spring, but a buck can breed several doe and produce even more offspring. Am i looking at this the wrong?
Yea, you're missing the big picture.

1 buck could service 100 does. we need does to actually have the fawns.

If we couldn't shoot any does, and only a few bucks survived...the herd would grow. The opposite is not true.
