RE: Shooting only bucks irresponsible?
Ifwe are speaking stricly from the "steward" soap box, it seems it would always be irresposible to shoot only bucks regardless of your population. Unless of course there has been an extensive slaughter of does for a period of time.
Thiswas the case in a couple of conservation areas close to me, they now have had "Buck Only" rules for the past 2 seasons. Hunters were allowed to shoot unlimited does for a couple seasons and that was the result.
