This is more than likely the DNR's response to the pressure of the farming associations of the state. It was recently in the papers that they wanted the herd thinned to 250,000 which is pretty unrealistic. The extra tags really won't change the way I hunt. The month of Oct here lately has been to darn hot (50's to 60's) the past couple years and quite honestly I hate to rush the butchering of my deer, so I wait until gun season and muzzleloader season to fill the freezer with does. Oct and Nov. are the buck months for me.If the herd is cut to 250K I can see it going back to the way it was when I began deer hunting. You were on cloud nine if you saw a handful of deer during the season. I think the DNR has done a great job building a very healthy herd in the state and I hope they don't go to far in either the direction, that past 6 seasons have been great here in OH.
