That’s why I encourage cooperatives and great relationships. Work with each other rather than against. Nobody wins if we all have the mentality that I’m going to do what I want and dig in even harder every time it’s brought up. That goes both ways, for trophy hunters and meat hunters.
That’s why I’m throwing out the idea that trophy hunters in counties like say Montgomery……might want to consider pulling back the reins on doe harvest and allow the meat hunters to “manage” the doe herd…..I can tell you from talking to hunters that I dont think anybody has a clue that doe harvest has just increased 49% in Montgomery Co and the bigger landowners/clubs are still having the same old conversation about the importance of shooting does……If the smaller parcel hunters around you want to fill their freezer then you don’t have to worry so much about reaching that doe quota…….That doesn’t fix the overharvesting of bucks but it does help curtail overall population decline
