The herd is interesting to say the least. There are pockets of insanse densities, and then areas of low densitiy. Where we hunt, around the Amasa area, we have huge doe numbers. Over thanksgiving weekend, I hunted at our camp, and at two bait sites we had a combined 27 does and 2 bucks, both spikes. My bro and I text back and forth for what we see, and I had 15 and he had 12 does at the same time, so its not like they are even the same deer going back and forth. Right now, with gun done and just muzz season, its not uncommon to have 25-30 in a night come to feed. We've seen more small bucks this year than in year's past, so who knows, maybe that's a good omen. The new tag this year (3 on a side) was just pissing into the wind IMO. You only had to follow that rule with the combo license, so if you only bought one tag, you could still blast away. The average cheese (WI person)or FIB (Illinoisfolk, Northern IL specifically)only buys one tag anyway, so why even have the rule? There is definitely some work to be done to help the ratio. I would love to see a 1 buck limit and more agressive doe harvest, or hell, even just the opportunity to harvest does by making tags available.
