RE: how often do you see deer
we used to have that problem (buck to doe ratio) and still do in some areas. but the PGC's new laws have kept younger bucks alive and killed off a lot of the doe. one thing that the game commission did last year was combine buck and doe season. also instead of going by counties for the doe permits, they expanded the area so we were able to hunt in like 5 counties with one liscense. we can only get one of those types but then we had our allegheny national forest antlerless tag, and then i believe anybody with a valid liscense can walk into allegheny county courthouse (pittsburgh area) and buy as many antlerless tags as they wanted. plus they also offer green tag areas for farms that had crop damage. does your state have any of these things going on yet???
