No $15 Tags During Gun Season..Bout Time

Glad to see the state changed this one. Hope it slows down the doe slaughter at least a little. What does everyone else think.

well since I guess I missed this what is it??

The last few years the early antlerless tags could be used in gun season in Zone C. This year they have changed that.

well that can be good and bad
here we have units and have to buy a tag for each unit in a lottery long before season, and most sell out in first or second draw
but even here with units its hard to manage deer that way, some areas will have too many deer and some will have too few
like my place, I am the only farm in the near by area surrounded by say a 1,000 acres no hunting housing development, and then just a mile down the road from me, 8 tenths of a mile to be honest is 6500+ acres of public hunting lands
my place and this housing development has LOTS of deer, they have the cover, I have the food, making l;egal killing of them hard, as they live in backyards all day then come to my place after dark to eat
poachers in there living large killing ONLY bucks, making doe numebrs too high for a healthy herd I think!
But then, go to public lands just up the road, and they have poor cover and even poorer foods
thus to even see a deer there is not easy, and here we are a stone throw away having too many
guys that hunt the public land curse the state for NO deer there, and I curse the state for not being willing to work with me to lower the numbers

units zones are just too big at times
I always say it would be nice if land owners had more say in deer tag numbers
but??
