RE: Doe killing
its illegal anywhere, its considered poaching. if you want to thin the doe heard, as we do on our property in central wi, we came up with an idea to only take does during bow season. In wi we have bonus tags that cost $12.00. We will stock up on bonus tags and take as many dry does and does with out fawns untill we have a better buck to doe ratio. On opening day of gun season this year heres my ratio count.
1 buck to 48 does (identified)
this is outrageous!!! I knew it was going to be a tough year before bow season even opened up and was scouting and all the does I saw in our fields had twins and tripplets. Late summer my son and I sat in my blind and counted 32 does all had twins and tripplets. There was no Tzone in my area this year and hasnt been since the second year they started the tzones. And the way it looks for next year, there will be no tzones or eab zones. but well see what happens. you think you have alot of does.
