I have no idea what the population dynamics are like in that area, and I'll just trust you that the proposed doe season is politically initiated. I would argue though, that you won't see does slaughtered, any more than deer in general are during the other seasons. Just because does are legal doesn't mean you can kill them all, they are deer after all.

Sprawl does suck. It means the deer arae forced into less habitat. It's just like the herd has grown, but in reality it is the available habitat that has shrunk. By killing does, you are likely to slow the herd "growth" and balance the buck-doe ratio (assuming it is a bit out of whack, like most places where doe harvest has been regulated).

I have yet to see any documentation of a herd being negatively affected by a regulated doe harvest. Everything I have seen and read is to the contrary. Again, I don't know the population dynamics, but I would find it difficult to believe that the herd doesn't contain a few too many does for it's own good. Does must not be legal across the board now, if this season is even thought of as a solution. Consider that some hunters will stay in the woods a lot less if they already have a doe in the freezer. May mean more and better quality bucks for you in a few years.

I really do understand your mistrust of the agency, but I think you may be worried about nothing.
