taking $ away from them won't work, though I am witholding any tag purchases for the next few years myself. Why? because special interest groups, i.e. timber farmer's assoc. will be all too willing to donate $ to the PGC and once they do they'll have even a bigger say in deer management.
In WMUs with a depressed deer herd:
1. BUY & BURN your doe tag! Encourage your pals to do the same. If you're a member of a camp make it known that each guy that kills a doe is looked at as a member of the group doing their best to ruin hunting. ( in WMUs with true over populations of deer killing does is fine)
2. Confront private land owners in your WMU an ask them to post their land against ANTERLESS DEER hunting , offer to post it for them with the promise you will not kill anterless deer on their property.
3.Hound your state representatives to confront the PGC on it's policy of deer management
4. go to a PGC public imput meeting and raise hell
5. write letters
I remember back to the late 80s when bonus tags had really crunch numbers of deer in parts of the state. It was the gripes of hunters that brought a stop to it, once numbers were so low you could hunt a week and see just 2-4 deer ( BTW that's when Alt made the comment he is hated till this day for...."poorly skilled hunters are having trouble finding deer"
BUY & BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
