Totally agree. But what's the solution? Dmp?
What are we trying to find a solution to?......Shooting too many does?.....Then go back to some broad scale doe days in certain areas. They seemed to work just fine the first time around and didnt require all kinds of specific data to be gathered. I dont think we were doing nearly as bad as it was made out to be when someone hollered snake and said we were all over populated. Now because of that bad decision, its being made out to be that we need to completely re-invent the wheel to fix it. We have swung the pendulum back and forth to either extreme and now are trying to say that we need a new way. Maybe we just didnt need to swing the pendulum back so far the first time. Opening up a 2 a day free for all may have been the problem. Maybe we should have tried a more moderate approach first.
High end deer management on everyones property through intense hunter management on the governments part is not a goal that the state should be trying to provide us. Every single hunter might not have top notch deer hunting on their properties due to numerous factors but it just is what it is....More intense management should be a function of individual co-ops.
