Here in PA its only the does that take out Oldsmobile's grills ,Toyota headlights and Chevy front fenders,these damn doe's cause more crop damage and timber lossesthan Stile chainsaws or flash floods. Our bucks are genetically trained to stay off of or busy highways and understand oak seedlings and soy beans are off limits,invasive grasses and soft maple are our bucks main food sources.
It may be assuming Jimbo ..... but are you against all the doe permits that PA hands out? [8D]
Preach I am going doe hunting in PA this year[8D]
Just make sure they are3.5+ yr oldDoes
I shot 4 last year, all I know is they were bigger than the others I cannot tell by looking at them, I shoot the biggest doe in the group.

If NC had AR's or OBRwould the doe harvest increase for the state? yes or no
No. We'd have LESS hunters (don't tell me I can't shoot the buck I want) and MORE poachers.

The blind faith some give our Biologist to get it right "this time" amazes me.

How many times have they destroyed the very game they are paid to manage?

I will not follow the lemmings off the cliff on this one, I spend over 300 days a year in my woods and we do not have any where near what the habitat will support.
Jim, how many doe can each hunter take in PA?

No need to worry. They implemented a minimum 3" teat length restriction, last year.
LOL

Yes but, as you well know, you can't judge age by teat length LOL. With the right food plots and mineral supplents teats are getting huge at younger ages these days

Funny that is what they said in PA
That is what they said in IN when they went to OBR.

They above IMO is just an excuse, nothing againts you Jeff, but it's just an excuse to stay stuck
They day we start making laws to appease poachers, well we should just hang it up.

Hunters are conservationalist, now that's funny[&:]
