There may be something to that phrase of "Brown and down." With the situation of deer on public land, especially Game Lands, why not shoot a doe. You might as well, because if you don't the next guy surely will. So you might as well get yours while the getting is good. At least you'll be able to say "I got mine" when they're all gone. After all, isn't that why the agency issued so many antlerless tags?

Just remember, what's driving this whole Herd Reduction program is FOREST CERTIFICATION. It has nothing to do with improving the herd or maintaining a better class of bucks.

FOREST CERTIFICATION!
