I've been hunting Pa for the last 10 years , every year . I would not like the earn a buck regulation , if thinning the heard is their goal , my suggestion would be give 2 or 3 free doe tags with every license

Another thing that lessens the numbers of does harvested is the fact that extra doe tags are AREA SPECIFIC , you can kill only 1 buck in any county , substitute a doe for your buck during a specific season , but doe tags are site specific .

I like Georgia's quotas , when you buy your license , you get 2 buck tags and 10 doe tags , good anywhere in the state , there are different point and spreed regulations for different areas , and slightly different seasons north to south in the state , but their rules make since . In my home state I can kill a buck and a doe every day of bow season , a buck a day during gun seasons , overkill .
