Default Why does Florida have such a short bowseason?

I have lived and Hunted in Missouri and Arkansas, and each state has a much longer bow season and you are allowed to take many more does than bucks- Florida is just the opposie- only a 3 1/2 week season and most deer allowed throughout the season is for bucks and not does- What gives?

Sounds like there is not much of a population.

Our game laws are a joke , and the fishing regulations are worst , they change those every year to confuse , so they can wright tickets . They allow too many deer IMO down in Florida . I like Georgias laws 12 does and 2 bucks per year , its working well there . We need change down here , 2 deer every day of season is a joke , and the slob hunters love it .

You are 100% correct Fl. game laws need a major overhaul. There are plenty of deer but the buck to doe ratio is way out of wack especially on public land. Private land at least can recieve doe permits to help get the ratio a little more balanced. At least the did extend doe days from 2 days to a whole week.

...only a 3 1/2 week season...
Not quite a week shorter than what we've got for a bow season in Texas. Gun hunters reign supreme here with 3 months of a general weapons season. Just about anything's legal during that season, short of spears, machine guns and tactical nukes.
