i really wish we would go to that here. Too many guys taking really young bucks just to say that they killed a buck while thedoe pops are exploding. We get 2 either sex tags and a doe tag, 95% of the people take 2 bucks and a doe rather than vice versa or 3 does. To me it just doesn't make sense to me why some hunters in my area would take a basket buck over a doe. Having them take a doe first will probably not stop them from taking young bucks butby having themtake a doe down alsowill balance it out a bit more. They do this down in the south on the cwd hunt and you must turn in the head of the doe with tag attatched so no gettin around it easily.
I agree. We need a way of taking some does here too. I honestly wish we could take does throughout the year but it's only during archery, a week in muzzleloader, and juvenile hunts. Something needs to be done, the buck to doe ratio is crazy because we can't seem to put restrictions or kill more does. Who knows.
