OK Boys & Girls!
We're a few years in to the New Deer Management Plan with the 30 or so Units!
I've never liked or agreed with the Buck to Doe Ratio Management Plans of this State!
I've always said:Bring the Herd Numbers up & Buck to Doe Ratio's will take care of their selves!
I've always said we need some Bucks left come the Rut with some Age/Genetics to them!
Here's what I've been seeing happen where I hunt here on the South Slope:
1: A lot of Hunters know that it might be a year,a few years before they Draw another General Permit!
2: A lot of them same Hunters have got the Attitude:I'm gonna Take a Buck no matter what size!
3: No Doubt,2014 was a Tough Year to find a Mature Buck but JUDAS,We're 3 years in & I don't see any change in the Herd!
4: There's so much Pressure on the Herd I don't see how it'll ever change!
5: There's been little change here,the DWR will quickly BRAGG they counted 18 Bucks per 100 Does,Big Deal,How many Does were counted?
6: The Illegal F'N Wheeler Trails just keep expanding by the year with No Enforcement!
7: A few of the Local Hot Spots have been perty much Stomped out/Over Hunted until there Ain't much left!
8: Ya if you want a PISSCUTTER/DINK you can still find oneamn,He's only a 2 Point but look at the Body on Him!
9: Can you tell me where I can find a Buck of any size,I really need the Meat,This Sshhitt Cracks me up!
10: Another thing I've noticed is an Increase in Elk Hunters,No You can't Blame them,if they didn't Pull a General Deer Tag they still wanna go Huntin so the Buy an Elk Tag!
I could sit here for Hours with a never ending list of Reasons why,but I won't!
Just wondering what you Hunters have noticed in the General Areas you've hunted in the last 3 years?
