We need to get rid of the two week doe and go back to the three day doe after the two week buck. We also have to get rid of the one size fits all doe management style. Go back to the county by countyto keep a better handle on the kill.Then we don't end up with too many in one area. And two in another area.I do absolutly agree with letting smaller bucks go to grow in to larger mature animals.I just can't help but to wonder how many of these future monsters are killed as button bucks in the doe slaughter season
We cannot go back to the 3 day after the 2 week. I agree getting rid of the both sex season however it makes no sense in killing the does that the bucks ran around breeding to begin with. If anything, the doe need to be hunted and killed prior to the rut. As much as I hate the intrusion in bow season, the does need killed then, even if it's a 3 day rifle season. I don't think that many are taken in the muzzleloader season.

I also agree with micromanaging areas, not necessarily county, the management units are fine but perhaps need mircomanaged themselves but they do not have the resources for that.

I wonder too, just ask eagle chickie, she purposely killed 5 on public land, or so she brags.
