Would you be in favor of...
 

1. What state do you live in?
2. Would you be for or against a "earn a buck" tag. (meaning you have to harvest and check in a doe before you can recieve a buck tag)

I know many people would cheat the system by calling in a doe that they never really shot to get a buck tag, but tell me your thoughts anyways

my thoughts
1. Illinois
2.Yes

RE: Would you be in favor of...
 

No I'm not really a "Doe" hunter.

But if after the first Buck it got us a second buck tag..yeah maybe??

Ohio

Ohio

No

Where I live there is nowhere near an overpopulation of deer. In other parts of the state itcould be good idea. However, Ohio has a pretty liberal tag system and quite a few counties that have high deer#'sare averaging more does taken per year than bucks. So, we aren'tto the point that it is necessaryyet, and hopefully we never will be.

Michigan and yes.I'm not sure if it would make a big diff from the part of the state I live in.We get a ton of pressure and they shoot anything without spots even "Buttons".So It could go either way as far has helping or hurting.IMO

Missouri

No

We do have some managed hunts that operate that way, but when the season is only a couple weeks long in those areas I think it's needed to thin out the herd. I don't think we need a restriction for the normal season as there seem to be as many hunters out for meat as there are out for the racks. We have unlimited doe tags for both firearm and archery seasons in most if not all of the state now.

RE: Would you be in favor of...
 

I'm out on that deal, but I'm all for antler restrictions.

We can kill six deer a year with no more than 2 bucks... I like it just fine that way.:D:D:D

Wouldn't make a differance for me,I hunt Doe's for meat.....I guess what I am saying is I would shoot a doe 1st anyway over a Buck that way I have meat then I would go for the buck at my option.

RE: Would you be in favor of...
 

I am from Illinois and I would be in favor of that. There is more to managing deer than just letting 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old buck walk.

Florida..... earn a buck, no.
Doe seasons...... absolutely!

Heck, we have enough people breaking the law shooting does out of season and Florida will not, for what ever dumb arsed reason,instate doe days on the states management land. We ask for doe seasons all the time and we never get any. Only archry season on the states management lands.
