Actionpoint, I'm with you 100% only I might have been less diplomatic.

WOW!!!! Seems that I stirred the poop with this guy! Didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. Killing antlerless deer with a depredation tag is a 2 for 1 (or better) deal in the long run. Shoot all bucks as far as I'm concerned. It is your legal right to do so. But while sitting in the woods during the regular season, think back to all the bucks you shot during the depredation season and you will know why you aren't seing the number of antlered deer that you should be. Out of line.....hmmm. Having a hard time seeing between the lines here. I generally dont post my opinion answering questions on this or other sites, but it seems logical considering everyone's (including myself) addiction to antlers. I mean, come on here, which buck are you going to shoot when a 160's class 10 point follows a scrub-buck and a hot doe under your stand? My money's on the scrub buck to finish the breeding on this doe........... Thanks to all for having my back since my last visit. I can never please everyone but try to do the best I can. Excellent post buster.

I also read dmd's post and buster's reply. I agree that dmd should have the right to shoot whatever deer he chooses to shoot with his dep. permits. It occurred to me that a novel solution that deserves serious consideration by dmd would be to shoot does with the dep. permits and lease hunting rights to a group of hunters during the regular season in order to recoup some of the profit lost to deer damage. It should be no problem charging the going rate for the deer hunting rights if there are indeed as many bucks on the property as he reports. Seems like a slam dunk, win-win solution to his problem.
