Big John the states set the bag limits the best way that they see fit to get the population to and maintain the Maximum Sustained Yield or the point on the population bell curve were the yearling body wieghtsare as good as they will get, fown recruitment is good, body sizes are good as well as the trophy potential is good. The seasos are what keep us from driving the whitetail to exticntion.
Uhhh.....thanks for tellin me that....I mean it but, I already knew that.
That's my whole point, if what the state is doing is working, why are we killing off more does in "our herds" instead of letting nature take it's own course?
Why am I killing all these does if the states deer herds are in good shape? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy hunting but sometimes I FEEL like have to take so many does, why can't I just let what happens happen?
