Default RE: West Virginia Deer Hunting Hurting!

One thing that I agree with jetblast on is that too many ppl would rather shoot a small yearling buck, then a fat mature doe. That causes a lack in big mature bucks. The state is packed full of "meat hunters" and the way they look at it is if its brown its down. If more of the meat hunters would hold out for a doe....and the DNR would change regs on bag limit, I think WV would be in good shape. The Genes are there for sure, and the nutrition can be alittle sparse at times depending on our mast, but that can be helped out alittle with supplemental feeding during the summer months. The only thing left is AGE!! More ppl should let em walk. Just little more of my 2 cent
