CNC - What are your theories why more does were taken in Montgomery County?
I think it’s a combination of a few different things……Unless the state started changing the way they count hunters when they started selling baiting permits then we saw a pretty decent increase in the total amount of hunters…..The data showed an increase from about 200K hunters up to 230K……Its likely that many of those extra hunters came from out of state and if so then you would expect that to have a greater impact on south Alabama counties…..So that’s one aspect…..I think more hunters have been packed in…. Secondly, I think after baiting was first legalized that we probably had a 2-3 year time frame where we thinned down the buck herd as the corn put more deer in front of trigger fingers……Once these hunters thinned down the bucks then you likely had folks who started looking around not realizing what had happened and started talking about how there were too many does for the amount of bucks they were seeing…..So you probably got a lot of folks reacting to having less bucks by thinking they need to shoot does to fix it……To go along with that you probably also have some of these smaller acreage folks that have stopped having the same opportunities to kill a good buck that they did have so they switch to filling that “tag” with a doe instead…..Maybe they want to kill 2-3 deer for the freezer and instead of 1 being a buck now all three are does….. I think its probably a combination of those things……
