Default RE: Washington permits are out

Doc, if you don't mind my asking, why not shoot a doe if you aren't interested in the rack? I'm guessing there is a difference in opinion on this, but the little bucks really should be passed on. With the deer problems you guys have over there, most areas could use a MAJOR reduction in doe numbers to get the ratio even close to normal. Every doe is worth 6-10 fawns in her lifetime, and over half of those fawns will be does that produce another 6-10 fawns. A buck is only worth himself. I really wish that area would have been made a 3pt area, but the locals wouldn't hear of it. With only a 1 deer limit, WDFW will never manage the whitetail herd in this state. Kinda hard to control 130lb rats when you are only allowed to take 'em 1 at a time(unless you get drawn for a 2nd). JMHO, no offense.
