Will Temple Smith consider allowing a special hunt to reduce numbers taking applications and interviewing hunters?

Carpetguy, I know you have invested and taken care of your property, have you considered allowing a few hunters to take some does only in late season? This way you could thin out the overabundance of does and still save the bucks for yourself.

I would also like to see a county by county check, but I imagine it would be expensive and hard to manage. I myself am in favor of the 4 deer per season limit. I know quite a few hunters who overtake their share just for the sake of killing and also fill some tags for others, who for lack of better words are just too darn lazy to get out and hunt. In my area it will be welcome news, because I see a hunting group every yr. come in and ravage an area. I am especially glad to see the unlimited doe in archery season gone! I am seeing many immature does now and very few mature does.
