Nodog Ohio is a differnt animal than Minn or MI. The reason PA did what they did was for over population. Some parts in Ohio I could have taken 7 deer this year, and six of them being does

You are lucky, you live in a state that is managing the deer. States like MN, MI, and PA have had terrible managemnt IMO(in the past). Like Steve said in MN they go from two many to not enough. We do the same in MI and it's frustrating. All I ask is the DNR manages the deer herd. One thing Ohio does great is manange the "zones" well. MI seems to wanna manage the entire state.

I do not want hunting mature deer to be easy, but right now you havea 1 in 300 chance in Ohio of bagging one. I have 1 in 3000 chance here in MI. If our herd is manage correctly that number will be about 1 in 600, and I will take those odds

BTW I bet you in 2007 you see PA numbers start to go back up You are correct they did drop, but IMO it's a good thing.
