David....

I just went back and read your post I missed, earlier. I agree that the pops in some areas make it easier to make a decision as to which animal to take (or...HARDER to take the doe in the doe vs. buck choice).

I can only relate to NC.....it's all I have "any" experience with. We have a GREAT deer population. It's really good. We can legally take 6 deer, here....and on one side of our state.....that includes FOUR bucks.

One thing that will wake some hunters up.....is the new proposal in our state that will allow UNLIMITED doe tags to hunters on private lands. It's going to help ME....I know that. They're opening up the already liberal limits on does for a reason. We've got too many of them. It's time to re-educate some......educate others.
