RE: I'm Thick ,Need better Eplanation on a legal buc
Not to step on toes, but the kids need to learn respect for the critters too! Instant gratification isn't the right way to get/keep kids involved in something. Besides, it looks like the trade off is being able to use the general tag for any doe anywhere.
Also, think of it like this...one year the hunting won't be that great. Next year(2003-2004), the hunting should be phanominal. We should have a large population of 2.5 year old bucks sporting 6, 8, & 10pt racks. All of the complaining from the 2002-2003 season will be forgoten. That is if this Deer Management Plan works. Only time will tell.
Keep in mind that these are "PRELIMINARY" regs. Alot changed last year in April.
