Would just like to take a moment to thank the DOW for finally killing unit 44. Their piss poor management has finally done it in. Post hunt estimates are down almost 80% in 5 years (most of which occured even before the infamous winterkill.)
The deer numbers have done a steady decline every year since they introduced 4th season. I have never seen so few deer in this unit, and have lived here since 1982.
They finally cut the tags again (down to 15 for 3rd), but they kept 4th season, and are even issuing doe tags!
I would also like to thank people like Garth Carter for blowing this unit out of the water that last few years. He hides behind his private land hunts, that cost $9k for a tag, just so he can slap a buck in his magazine, and get some more suckers to join up and keep paying for his hunts.
Meanwhile, the working stiffs got in line and were waiting about 5 years to get a tag. I am guessing it will jump to around 8+ now. I remember buying my first buck tag over the counter at the gas station in 1985, the night before the season.
I emailed the DOW 5 years ago and begged them to quit selling doe tags. Their response "we want to get a better buck/doe ratio."
Good job, when there are 2 deer left, and one is a buck, you finally achieved your goal of a 50% ratio.
It was nice knowing you 44...
