BawanaJim, I just dont understand you.

I guess you and I can discuss it in the waiting room when we are getting the rotator cuff surgery.

You seem to place yourself on a pedestal, and pat your own back alot too. Because you own land to hunt, this some how makes you a more caring steward of the resource.

I guess because I hunt state land, Im an uncaring slob, who cant harvest a deer too. Right, isnt that what your getting at with your snide comments?

Yet, its you who refuses to listen to sound management plans that your state is pushing for. You claim there is NO need to shoot does on your property. How can this be? You obviously know more about deer research and biology than the actual biologists then. Right?

Im not saying you have to shoot 10 does a year, or even 1. But dont you realize it would help your land, and your efforts to harvest a doe or two per year. If doe numbers are EXTREMELY low, stop harvesting them. But I cant forsee them being dangerously low if you havent harvested them in 20 years.

I also dont understand you on the fact that you claim its NOT about the antlers, yet you will ONLY shoot bucks. That makes about as much sense as peeing before you pull your willie out. I think that would be the definition of contradiction in the dictionary.

I admit, I want to shoot bigger bucks. The way I think my state can go about providing them for ALL the hunters, is by limiting the amount of buck tags. There is absolutely NO need for more than three buck tags a year. Especially not when we have the amount of does available for harvest that we do. I also think they should push for hunters who have been successful in taking a buck or two to try and hold off for older more mature, and larger bucks. This will increase the probablity of seeing and shooting larger deer.

Tell me how that plan negatively effects YOU?

It doesnt. So tell us about your state and what you would do to make it better.
