I read in the Sunday paper where they are having a hearing coming up on possible changes to wildlife regulations. They go out into the communities each year to get input from the citizens.

One thing I noticed they were to consider is a decrease in the number of bucks a person can kill. Now it is 3, but in order to do that you have to kill at least one with a bow.

If they are trying to implement changes to allow for bucks for bigger racks, is this really going to help? I did kill 3 this year, but all 3 were good bucks. I don't really think the number of hunters that kill 3 is all that great, though.

I would be more in favor of requiring some type of point restriction like some other states have. Like maybe at least 3 or 4 on a side.

I would also consider making the second week of rifle season does only.

Another would be to require anyone shooting a button buck to have to check it in as a buck and not an "antlerless deer" if they haven't already checked in a buck.

Maybe a point system where a hunter could kill more deer if he killed does instead of bucks so maybe the meat hunters would be encouraged to kill does instead of small bucks.

In my county, the doe harvest is only slightly less than the buck harvest, so I think we have a pretty good balance in the deer herd.

Maybe you don't even care about bigger racks. What are your ideas?
