in my western section of north carolina i would support a 2 year total ban on deer hunting. short of that i would support a ban on anything with less that 4 pts per side (which would just about accomplish the same thing), and a 2 yr ban on does. if we did that i may not have to move, but as it stands, when i have my teaching certificate, i'm outta here. i love everything here, except the deer hunting. now, i'm 37 yo and am back in school because of a on the job injury, and while things are getting a little better over the past 5 yrs, a 2 yr ban would really put this area right. the genes are here, i've seen it, but not much gets darn chance, and the numbers are low. we're talking .5 antlered bucks per sq. mile or less on average.
