very few small bucks around here in ma. If its brown its down is kind of how it is around here bc if you dont kill it someone eles DEF will. Thats why i started this to see how many guys would love to do this.. I would def let a 4 or a small 6 pointer walk if i knew they would make it and grow up.
exactly... if everyone would subscribe to this then it may have a chance... unfortunately, I don't think people would.
I do believe they should cut the amount of doe permits down in the Western zones... or at least reevalute the populations in each zone.They give out tons of zone 3 doe permits... and hardly any zone 2. I see alot more doe in 2 than 3!
Odd, I see way more in 3 than 2. I agree that the wholemgt needs to be reevaluated west of the CT river, but F & G seems to not want to. Habitat work is the biggest need and selective logging can help. They where out last season working on the poachers some, but its still happening... Doe permits need to come way down.

They are doing some logging. There is a plan for some land mgt posted on MA F & G.
