I personnally think the earn a buck program is a bunch of crap. We don't have it here, in fact it's tough to get a doe tag at all most of the time. But, if someone, and a lot of people are in this boat, gets limited time to hunt... let him kill a buck if he sees it. You want more does killed, give out some more tags. I agree your phone in will be violated and abused. I'm sure they thought of that and have it calculated into the management plan. Earn a buck sucks IMO. Glad we don't have it. We get 3 tags, a bow or muzzleloader either sex, a bow or muzzleloader antlerless only and a regular firearms season buck only. If you're lucky enough to be drawn you get another doe tag.
