Just because the state says you can, doesn't mean you should.
My county just a few yrs ago was an 8 on bonus/antlerless.
Based on crash data or ?
Never been enough antlerless for that nonsense.
State revised and it dropped to 3 the next yr.
Still nonsense.
Sportsmen rallied and state started listening to county groups.
Boots on the ground, better info.
Now my county is a 2.
IMHO it should be a 1 on bonus.
Mind you, one can take an antlerless w MZ and two w bow.........and still not use a bonus tag.
Bonus tags are not county specific, were yrs ago, by drawing even.
I can buy a doe tag, and shoot one.........in any county that allows it (DNR properties often don't honor bonus tags).
My county has never been a deer mecca. Pockets are good.
It does fluctuate.
In my hunting area, there aren't enough does to take more than one (IMHO) regardless of weapon type/license.
If you want a deer, antlerless, shoot a button.
Thats one dead deer.
Killing a doe kills all the deer that would be from her too.
And these same clowns repeatedly say "hardly saw any deer, so shot this doe".
SMDH
The sportsmans groups and country groups are trying to get the word out.
But many just don't care.
