I don't see the need to take out any mature 2 point bucks that may exist. What is the reason for that? I get the feeling people think they're inferior and are somehow detrimental to overall herd health. Why?
It's funny how the game department planted wolves in Washington to kill everything off and now hunters want to change the hunting rules and take away doe tags for the youth and elderly people and other opportunitys because of population of deer and other game . it's the game department fault wolves and cats killing everything and the game department doesn't want to manage the problem . I don't see how we the people hunters is the problem the numbers were fine before all the predators got out of control . just saying it's pretty sad reading how people want to take away hunting . My friend a Wise man said they planted the wolves back in the States because the government doesn't want hunting and planted grizzlies in the mountains so they can close mountains down to people and hunters because of bear attacks . . Witch looks to be true game numbers are falling and and people want to close tags or numbers and last hunting season they closed grand Teton national park for elk hunting do to grizzly bears . Pretty sad the future of hunting

Pretty sad the future of hunting over harvest is not the issue. Predators are. I wish I could give away common sense because a few anti- opportunity people here need it

I wish I could give away common sense because a few anti- opportunity people here need it So killing does despite tanking numbers is common sense? The whitetail needs to be slain at all ages and sexes because "WDFW EVIL"? If that's common sense then go ahead and keep it my friend.
I completely agree on the doe harvest to stop, but does this now put even more pressure on the buck population from all the guys that previously drew doe tags now will go out with their buck tag. Is this doe harvest only limiting to permits or is archery and muzzy seasons still going to be either sex?

it doesn't take a bio to know that deer numbers the last 5 years have dramatically dropped. With the inventions of trail cams and anyone who spends a lot of time running them in areas over a period of time can see whats going on with herd numbers. I have places that just a few years ago were loaded with deer and this past year I was lucky to get a deer on cam. I have a buddy who hunts,shed hunts and scouts 101 a ton and the crap he finds is sad. He was hiking the S fork of sherman creek and found 2 herds of muley does wiped out by wolves 13 in total.
