i have not seen a single buck while hunting this year.. before the ar program i seen quite a few.. the doe population is well below what i am use to seeing in the past also.. this could be the lack of bucks that been few to be seen by many..

1. move bow and muzzleloader togetherand have itafter the rut.. the larger bucks will have a chance to breed then.. to me,, it is defeating the purpose of ar when the larger bucks get takin before they get a chance to breed.. they will defeat the purpose of the ar program in time by eliminating these bucks before the rut.. look at the increase of archery and muzzleloader stamps..

2. doe season back to 3 days with no bonus tags.. before or after the rut.. prefer before the rut.. then when the time to breed,, the deer are less stressed and we can get an idea during buck season about next years offsprings size from the doe we see..

3. go back to county instead of wmu.. never had a problem with this before.. i don't see where wmu actually did any good.. if anything,, they did harm the population of deer..
