Nice try Richie!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> And you whine about others trying to make you appear foolish<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> The questions you have numbered have already been answered and some were covered already without you asking.
#1.Antler restrictions in order to increase doe harvest! Already covered that!
#2.Who knows the exact reason why hunters in those areas weren't harvesting more does. Is it truely because the buck to doe ratio is way out of balance? NO WAY! It's a herd reduction tactic!
#3."If too many bucks are not getting taken , according to me"? Where did I say that too many bucks weren't getting taken or were getting taken? I said that my area has a very good buck to doe ratio with a generous doe harvest every season.
#4.Why dont the states just allow more doe tags per hunter? Well , I dont recall you asking me before. Wisconsin is very generous in doe tags and doe only seasons.
#5.Why do they have special hunts on these areas?-- An obvious answer would be a buck to doe ratio thats way out of wack.
You said: "The lack of bucks in this area will promote inbreeding between a doe and her female offspring." That I'd like to see![sarcasm]

#6,#7,#8 Once again , if your state has a herd balance thats way out of wack , like too many does -vs- bucks , then it is important to harvest does , but your preaching to everyone everywhere , right?
Answer me one question.
If an experienced hunter shoots two or three does before harvesting a young buck , is that o.k.? Afterall , he would be practicing QDM!
