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.
FINALLY!!!! Couldnt have said it better myself, obviously I have tried! BINGO!!!!!! Im not the only one that sees the sad truth! Thank you bawanajim.

Just so you guys know

QDMA gave top award to PA for mangement this year
Please be kidding. If they did, someone should have their heads examined.

Steve .... having to tag buttons with a buck tag would not be a good idea ... what happens when your buck tag is filled and you shoot a button by mistake??
BB are not that hard to identify.
Do a graduated fine - x for the 1st, 5x for the 2nd, 10x for 3rd etc.
Hunters would learn quick.

If they do mandatory AR in CNY and allow the slaughter of BB to continue, every antlerless I take on public land will have buttons.
Lots of public land around me and they are not hard to identify.

Steve I agree with you, but how many hunters can do this in the field? I bet it's less than we think.
