Reduction of Antlerless whitetail permits in Eastern Washington

[grundy53]

I would be totally fine with them splitting the state or even making the tags only good for one subspecies. Choose either blacktail, mule deer, or whitetail. All three need help and are getting hammered.

Most states use antlerless harvest to control game populations. When numbers are too high you increase antlerless harvest, when numbers are below objective you decrease antlerless harvest to increase herd numbers. Washington seems to forget this simple fact at times.

Oh YES they do!! and don't forget the pocket gophers!

If it was no antlerless in the national forest and DNR, it would be one thing.  Lots of people getting does in backyards and on the edges of town.
