I am not sure how it happened? Or how it flew under the radar. Last night as we dropped my dads buck at the packers there was a pile of mule deer doe.
Not many years back we had a massive fight with the CPW. We argued that there should not be any doe hunting at all if the herd was below objective. There were several contentious meetings and the final outcome was doe tags were cut way back in most of the state and in the NW.
So last night I was not sure what to say when we pulled up and there were 16 doe at the packers.
Came home checked.
For unit 22 they offered 500 doe tags between second and 3rd season. For units 11/211/23 etc. 500 doe tags between the 2 seasons.
I knew the CPW was trying to kill off all the bucks in the NW for CWD, but really never found anyplace where they were going increase the doe mule deer harvest.
In the areas I mentioned they offered 25 times more doe tags than normal this year..
