Ask a wisconsinite how well an Earn-a-Buck program works in keeping deer populations down.

Sorry Fletch, but I don't buy it one bit. With liberal bag limits and seasons - and an Earn-A-Buck system as a LAST RESORT, there's NO reason that any area should ever become overpopulated, even if it is bow-only.

Iowa didn't get to be overpopulated because it was bow-only. It got to be overpopulated because nobody wanted to shoot any does. Gun or bow. Iowa isn't exactly thick with hunters, either. Under 400,000. That's peanuts.
