RE: some options the PGC should consider
didn't you mean raise the anterless fee from $6? If it was up to me I'd say raise it in lower deer populated WMUs to $25.00 and give them away free in over deer populated WMUs
my choice to kill a button buck is....well my choice. My reasoning is in the WMU I hunt in the doe population is down, 1 buck can breed a bunch of does so I CHOOSE to kill bb an let mature does drop twin or tripletes the following spring.
Besides I like the meat best when those BB still have milk on their lips!
