Default RE: Minnesota hunters, QDM

I hear you. My personal opinion on the subject is that if a person gets drawn for a doe permit that person should have to shoot a doe no if's and's or but's about it. I know this past year in my area there was one group in particular (not mentioning names) That had 8 people in their party all had doe tags and not one of them shot a doe. They all shot bucks. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!! Biggest one they shot was a 3X3 basket rack that weighed about 170 lbs. That's F*#$@#& pathetic in my eyes. So instead of limiting the mandatory doe taking to just management permits they should limit it to all doe permits. That may help a bit but it's just a question of wether or not the state would pass that type of law. I'm sure other states have done it with some sucess why can't we try it. I shot a doe this year and passed up many many opportunites at spkies and 3X3's because they could use another year or 2 or 3 to grow. I also shouldn't mention it because it's kind of a pride hurter. I missed a very large very nice 6X7 that had lady luck sitting on his shoulders. Anyway. That's my opinion on subject. It's not just the mentallity in northern MN either I'm in west central and darn near ever hunter here is that way.

Wait, wait, ready PLUG EM!!!!!
