Default RE: Doe vs little buck rant

For years in my hunting area you had a hard time getting a doe tag because of all of the close-minded senior hunters forcing the game commission to hold down the antlerless allocation because the " she deer were the ones that kept the herd numbers stable." Now here in north central PA the deer numbers have climbed substantially since the GC started giving out lots more doe tags!
For years, if you wanted to put ANY venison in the freezer you HAD to shoot a small scrub buck ' cause that' s the only kind of buck there was and doe tags were precious as hens teeth.
I haven' t killed a buck in a couple years, but I normally fill the freezer with an antlerless license or two! My buck tags are reserved for wall hangers only!
