DMAP was a good program, but the biologists in early/mid 80s still pushed doe tags to kill more does. Hell , we got 50 tags on 2000 acres of mostly hardwood swamp. We wouldn't of gotten 50 tags if SOMEONE wasn't for killing 50 does. We damn sure didn't make the recs. First season we shot hell out of does the landowner said we killed them all, I ain't seeing any deer at all. You could really see more bucks than does, esp on greenfields.

and I agree the dept(read biologists in charge) reacted way the hell too slowly to growning fawn predation by yotes, DISREGARDING ANY INPUT BY HUNTERS TO THE AMOUNT OF PREDATION TAKING PLACE. Because the biologists in chgarge had not run any studies to determine IF and how much there was predation.

two biggest lies by the dept in 80's to early 90s....
2. You cannot kill too many does by sport hunting
3. Yotes ain't making any dent in deer numbers

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
