1 deer per unit is not going to make any difference at all in our deer numbers, especially an older buck. I do agree that it is a way for them to make more money but I am happy to donate $8 a year for that opportunity. People not hunting is not the fix for our deer issues, sound predator management is what we need!! Idaho has multiple deer units above objective with unlimited tags and OTC rut hunts. We currently have enough cats in our state that if they only ate deer they would all be gone in a year, add bears, coyotes and now wolves and it is very scary.
