Well Adam the PGC and the hunters who feel the need to fill multiple tags are puttin a hurtin on the herd in most areas.
Last year I opted not to fill my doe tag and I'll see how the rest of the season goes as to wether I'll fill my doe tag this year.
After 30+ yrs of huntin the need to harvest a deer isn't as high on the priority list as it was when I was a youngin.
Of course I don't see near the number of deer as when I was a kid either.
I just hope that my son who will actually accompany me next year during the rifle season will keep his interst peaked if we go without a deer sighting. I've been toting him afield since the age of 2 for various game and I hope he remains as interested as he matures as he seems to be right now. I fact he can't wait till late ML season as that is "our" time in the deer woods.
