Here in PA the state is huge and diverse. Our game commission says that if we kill all the does we will have big bucks to replace them.
The thing is we have a silly thing called winter here. Right now we have between two & three feet of snow.How many fawns do you think will be born this spring?
We have battles going on with private land being posted and state land being pounded buy those that have no land of their own.
It is the doe slayers against the rest of us.I see no need to play god and eliminate the whitetail deer from my woods so I don't shoot them.But I am more than made up for because some townhouse dwelling TV watching arm chair biologist can buy all the doe tags he wants for sixdollars apiece and shoot every one he sees .What a plan huh?
Of course you have to throw in the poachers that take more deer than hunters doand you have a disaster just waiting to happen.
