There is a lot of smart and diversified people on this site. The question is- Why does the PGC give the same amount of doe license out each year in my management area. Shouldnt it vary dependent on the deer kill. For example last year it didnt snow in my management unit and it was pretty crappy weather for rifle season. Rain mostly. Guess what 40K license were given out that year. This year it snowed and it was a slaughter. Guess what i bet they give out 40K next year. Wouldnt they be adjusting this number of doe permitsto MANAGE the Population? I guess it really doesnt matter because their is not many left anyway. I hunted hard in muzzleloader season- they are just not there like they use to be(5 years ago). i didnt hunt the same places either- i had a group of freinds that pushedalmost everyday-not many tracks or sightings. Hard hunters too.
