1. More does = More deer = More Bucks

This is true but we must be sure not to go over the carrying capacity. Which in several cases some areas could definitely support more deer. I know for a fact that there is just as much food here in Northern MO as there is in Illinois but not near as many deer. But the MO biologists keep emphasizing overpopulation. I think in many cases more does tags mean more money for the state.


2. Bucks will have more does to chase in the fall making them move longer into the season.

Quite the contrary bucks will move less because theyll have all the does they need in one location.
