Default RE: Rifle season 2008 is history

I'm not sure whats so hard to understand. If your hunting area has been overharvested, don't kill does there. If you still choose to shoot a bunch of does and button bucks when you feel the deer density is too low (as your buddy BB2 has admitted to doing) then you are the one at fault, not the PGC.
That's just another feeble attempt to insult and belittle another hunter. Those 6 antlerless deer were harvested in 2001 when the deer density was much higher and hunting was good in our area. At that time we thought the safety zones would protect enough deer to maintain reasonable densities ,but we were wrong. High antlerless allocations, high hunting pressure and little posted ground resulted in an overkill that was beyond the control of the individual hunters and the PGC still increased antlerless allocations in 5C in 2008 and wants to reduce the herd by 15%.
