Default RE: Changing Deer Season Months

Maps are definately necessary, some areas more than others need doe reductions, others need to be closed for doe but hunters as whole would whine, whine, whine. AR's are still important or the orange army would pull the trigger on the first deer they see, brown it's down would be in full force. An early Oct season would be okay but I hate adding anything more to the archery season intrusion on archery season. Inbreeding wouldn't happen, nature usually regulates that.

What I feel would stop button buck slaughters is forcing hunters to use their buck tag if they shoot a button buck. Treat the gender as it is, a buck or a doe, you get one tag for each, period.

I cannot fathom mistakingly killing a button buck as a doe, it's just too easy to tell them apart and if you intentionally shoot a button, tag with your buck tag and be happy about it. ....

I could live with that rule, how about you?
