The option of hunting whitetail late needs to stop as well.

Maybe Im not clear. Stop the folks from hunting Muleys earl down south, then coming up north to kill a dink/doe just to fill a tag and get “meat”.

My reasoning comes from hunting the Clearwater for over 20 years and seeing a good whitetail hit the dumps. The early closure in 10a is a start.

In most units, whitetail buck escapement is very high (they clamped down in 10A because hunting pressure was pretty high). Forty percent of the whitetail buck population is 4+ years of age. Few other states can boast that age structure. I spend a lot of time in those forests, and I can attest that the whitetail herd is pretty robust.

Then stop the late either sex with with the general tags. Wanna Hunt whitetail, Hunt whitetail, wanna hunt Muleys, Hunt Muleys.  The “oh well, we can hunt whitetail late season and kill dinks for meat” needs to stop imo.

Can you post the study stating the buck age class is 4 years plus, and what units? Thanks

And why would that be.......

I think it has more to do with everyone being able to kill a doe. And use 2 tags. They stopped the 2 tags part but they really need to stop the doe slaughter. I've hunted 10A for a long time it's definitely way down. But I blame everyone killing does more than the late dates.

And where does that statistic originate and how is it determined ???

That is total BS. The age structure of 4+ year old bucks would be way closer to 4% than 40%. Whoever Told you that doesn’t know what they’re talking about or they’ve never spent any time in the woods.

not saying he is right with that stat but can you provide evidence to the contrary? You can't call "total BS", toss out a different stat and then not back it up.  Let's call a spade a spade here :twocents:
