I think you' re right on the money. There are simply too many people who will not/cannot see the logic behind the new policies. Too many still carry the attitude of " that doe is next year' s buck" . It' s simple ... control the doe population to induce competition in the bucks thus allowing only the healthier/stronger bucks breeding rights. The important result is a population managed for HEALTHIER deer - natural selection through competition - and as a side effect you get bigger racks. I' ll go further and say that it wouldn' t be a bad idea to have an additional application for a BUCK tag, instead of an antlerless tag. But then again, I could care beans about number of points, simply because so many others go goofy for them.
