spaniel, I for one really enjoyed your story and congrats on your success. I must have missed it somewhere, what State are you located. I am in Indiana and at one time the State sold lifetime licenses. Meaning one did not have to buy tags. We have bag limits by county. Because of our doe population in certain areas, its not uncommon to hear harvest counts of 3,4,5 does same hunter same day during gun season here. Yes, and most of us here eat what we kill. Again, good story and congrats!
