RE: Griping about Earn-a-Buck
I hunt in Tennessee and the unit I hunt in we are allowed to shoot 3 does per day form the opening day of archery until the closing day of rifle. However a lot of people do not take advantage of this. instead, when you talk to them they will say "I don't shoot does," but then they do shoot the first 1 year old buck that has visible antlers on it's head as if that is tougher than shooting a doe. I think this would be a good idea for my unit in the state of TN. If everybody had to shoot 3 does in order to harvest their 3 bucks our harvest #'s would most likely double, which would not hurt. I do not see what the problem is with shooting does. If you are eating what you kill the meat is better in my opinion.
