Greg, I hunt in Clumbia County Wi most of the time. It's A herd reduction zone and they give you 4 tags a day for free!. I want to put something on the wall at my buddy's cabin. It's not like I only get to shoot one,and according to the DNR I'll be doing a public service. At last count they have over 45 deer per sq. mile,this includes all the ag land. I don't think I'm hurting anything. BTW it would have to be a big 6

You have a great point Josh. Do you have a problem when fish and game place a length limit on bass? Its done for the quality of the bass. It works with deer to if enough people subscribe to it in the area or it is forced upon them.
Deer have no where near that mortality rate. Deer are over populated here as it is, even with the "brown its down" mentality.

I see does almost on every outing i have, and normally they are within range, now they may not be the first deer i see but i do see them, i just dont buy the meat hunters arguement because doe meat is deer meat to but it seems like most "meat hunters" take more small bucks than does. I think that alot of meat hunters think that they must kill a buck

With the unlimited tags I plan on hunting the first week the first of october the end of october and nov9-12. I'll hopefully see a lot. And I do plan on taking more does if I can. Last year some yahoos were caught baiting on the opening day of gun season and the property was quarantined for 10 days,the gun hunters got zero bucks there.
You're right though I probably will wait and see,last year I passed on several forks. I did shoot a button buck there, they are good eating but I've learned to tell the difference and plan on letting them pass too. Thanks for your input,good luck to you and shoot straight!
BTW are you ever going to get new camo,or are you intentionally going for the retro look?

I dont have a problem with that, due to the simple fact that 99.9% of bass wont live to see 5 lbs, whether you fish for them or not. I've read some studies that claim that 1 out of 1,000 eggs a fish lays will reach maturity.
Deer have no where near that mortality rate. Deer are over populated here as it is, even with the "brown its down" mentality.

If so it is just like MI, in MI we kill plenty of deer. If we could reverse the numbers we would be in much better shape in the next decade.
States like Iowa have killed more does than bucks last 3 years or so(Not sure).

Btw, I bought that coat in 1986 and still wear it. How many people can still wear the same size for 20+ years?[:-]

JoshKeller, your avitar has a bass that is what, 10lbs. plus? Do you strive to catch the big bass or just any bass? If you strived to just catch anything, you wouldn't have put a fish on your avitar that most people would never catch, let alone, see. There are many of us who practice QDM and like I say take what makes you happy. By the look of your avitar, your fish would be a Boone & Crockett by deer standards.
