I admit RSB has alot of knowledge but I still disagree with him at times.He aint God so that means he aint perfect.

Absolutely positively right Rich! He aint God, he's human. I've disagreed with him on more than one issue myself. I'm still deciding wher I agree and disagree with him on this but I think you'll agree that his theories all have
some basis in fact. We'd probably differ on some of them I'm sure but he is out there being hands on every day while many if not most among us will never come close to his real world, hands on experience with the issue.
As for cutting back or eliminating doe tags, and this is just my opinion mind you, I would guess that stopping doe tags even for a year in the NC would create a firestorm like we've never seen. Sure, lots of 2G hunters think there arent enough deer, but someone keeps buying up all those tags in record time and unless I'm mistaken, the DMAPS fly off the shelves as well.
