Rob/PA lives in (duh) PA.....and he has to aply for a doe tag (he is issued one tag with his license, I "think"). How is this promoting shooting every doe?

I'm just trying to understand, really.

If I see 326 deer, from stand in one year.....and less than 50 of them are bucks....it likely says a lot of things:

1) it likely says that does are more likely to let themselves be seen
2) it likely says there are too many deer in the woods I hunt
3) it likely says I'm seeing a lot of the deer over and over again
but
4) it likely means I have WAY TOO MANY DOES

The key to keeping a species from reproducing is to make them infertile or to extinguish them. it's cheaper to extinguish them.....which, for our purposes, equates to hunting them.

You can't take YOUR circumstances and apply them to mine, either. It works both ways.
