Is this scenario that far down the road? Imagine a man and his son or daughter its the first day of deer season and they are watching a doe walking towards them the child asks dad can I shoot this one and the dad replies no I am sorry you cant we couldnt get a doe tag and she isnt legal. a little bit later here comes a four point again the child ask the same question and gets this answer no since they passed AR for everyone you cant. Now I know that it isnt passed for everyone yet but I have read that people want it to be. Now what do you think that child is going to think after seeing a couple deer and not able to shoot? Too many times like this in the woods and I will bet that the kid will quit and we have one last hunter in our ranks. With AR and herd reduction hand in hand this might not be to far down the road.

You bet your arse it isn't far down the road. Someone else mentioned , he understood that more does need to be killed to maintain the same herd level<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>
Do you think Gary Alt is doing this to maintain the same herd level? It couldn't be further from the truth! Like I said before his main agenda (along with many other states , including Wi) is to drastically reduce the herd level. They weren't getting the doe harvest they wanted to reduce the herd numbers , so walla! How can we push hunters to harvest more does? By forcing them to let younger bucks walk. His plan or agenda had nothing to do with creating monster bucks , he just sold it that way and alot of hunters are foolish enough to buy it.
I'd be willing to bet that next year Pa will have a record buck harvest , and the following year hunters will be forced to shoot a doe (maybe two) before harvesting a buck.
