Instead of doe, they should have made them two point tags..........    When its all said and done, that's all that will be left standing.

I've been thinking the same thing.  Last week I drove past a small patch of alfalfa just off Lower Beaver Creek Rd. that had 4 smooth brow 2pt.'s feeding in it.  All clearly from the same gene pool... :bash:

I just got off the phone with WDFW (360-902-2515).  The "antlerless whitetail only" special permits are actually good for either antlerless whitetail or mule deer.  The WDFW said that this is clearly stated in the WAC that authorized the change.  This was not communicated in the email sent out to the permit recipients.

I think they should include bucks aswell. :chuckle:

I called to make sure too. You can shoot either mule deer or whitetail doe.

Sounds like they didn't learn their lesson after the Swakane debacle.  Herd decimation is emanate.  I would think one year of supplemental feeding would have been a way better option.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

You're forgetting common sense isn't in their thinking.

I suppose its not PC to be against this either.  Some kid might not get to harvest his first deer, which I am all for them doing.   I wish most understood how they were contributing to this debacle.   I suppose many are just excited to draw something, and finally have a chance of killing something.   Then if you stand up for something you believe in, you have some dude calling you an armchair biologist.  How about tenured outdoorsman.    Been there and back again......   It looks like this thing is going down and there is no shortage of folks wanting to contribute to the demolition of this herd.   In the next five years when you are all asking me where I would go, I guess I can refer them to this thread.    :rolleyes:
