Alas , a QDM perspective that I can agree with 110%!!!

I did my part last year (and the group I hunt with). It was EAB in our area last year and although I hated the fact that I had to let a really nice buck walk by because I hadn't filled my doe tag yet , I knew our area needed more doe harvests. We filled all our tags with doe to try and insure that we wouldn't be in EAB this year. I heard alot of pissin and moanin about it from hunters who refused to shoot any doe.[:@]
We came close to being a EAB unit again this year but it was shot down by our Resources Board.
I hear alot of guys saying yahooo, but the reason the DNR wanted to have EAB in our unit again this year is beause???? Yep! We still have too many doe.
My father in law was a little leary on shooting so many doe last year. That was until two weeks after gun season closed and he counted thirty seven doe in his back yard one evening.
I plan to do the same thing this year as I did last year.
For me , it's not about growing big bucks , it's about the health of the herd and keeping the buck to doe ratio relatively close.
