vtbuckrulrss,

You are not breaking any new news to me. If I did not think that Dr. Alt or the Game Commission would use the decreased harvest as a reason to increase doe license allocations or gun season extensions then I would not have mentioned it in the first place....

I understand QDM and herd management but disagree with the way it is being approached at this point. The key focus should be on the herd distribution on private/public land as well as the proportion of deer hunters on private vs. public land in comparison to it.

What good is increasing doe license allocations if a majority of hunters that get the increased tags are hunting public land and the deer are on private, unaccessible, or only moderately hunted private land??

The answer is that it does no good at all.
