I hunt in the same area as Pat does. I believe we are taking to many does the way it is. What happened to the last 4 days a shotgun can take a doe then. I have talked with some old timers they said there used to be more deer around. Then talk with other they say we have to many deer the way it is now. Where I hunt I see deer would like to see more. The one buck a year I believe is greatly helping out. Its all based on what the insurance companies. They having to many claims people hitting deer. I dont know maybe should be based a townships. I would keep the one buck a year state wide. From township to township thats were you break down how many does you can take.
