Default RE: BUTTON BUCKS

Idisagree and this is why... In a state where the game commission estimates 40% of the hunters do not report their kills it is anything but a science as to why they do what they do.There are others who will argue your point as being just the opposite. If they report their kills then the Game commission is either- A. Satisfied with kill numbers and will continue on their courseor B. feels we need to kill more deer. The only time allocations drop is when there is a reduction in harvest. So your point that by not filling out a harvest card will inevitably lead to more allocations is proven to be opposite to what has been happening in terms of allocations. I agree with the other argument which goes against your's. If they are not meeting their quota what logical justification would they have to raise allocations? Common sense would imply that if the deer were there they would be getting shot. If they are not getting shot and their quota is not being met with the concurrent doe / buck season it would be a more realistic assumption or "guestimation" that the deer are not there in the abundance they thought when allocating antlerless tags.
