More like no general mule deer hunts ! Or highly regulated. I have been all for state wide permit only mule deer seasons for years! 18 late tags is nothing compared to general season slaughter fest .That’s the problem. I saw no shortage of does. They are producing fawns and 1-3 yr old Muleys are about the dumbest animal in the woods. Add in massive burns and there is no hope of survival of legal bucks. I’d be willing to bet on public lands a legal buck under the age of 3 has 1-2% survival rate . Reason I saw 10-15 spike or forks as people waded thru them during general season to shoot a more genetically blessed deer. Don’t get me started on 3 pt min and the joke that is on mule deer herds.
