I know 127 fairly well and some parts of 139-142. They all got hit hard with blue tongue and EHD this last summer. I spoke with a FW bio who said as much that they were just inundated with calls about carcasses. For me, I love hunting and deer meat. But if I had put in and received a doe tag (second deer tag) I would be trying to turn it back in for points. Personally I’m going to stop putting in for any doe type tags.
Our deer herds are in tough shape in some regions, with drought, heat, and fires. My stance as a conservative hunter is to make sure I leave some for next season or the next generation. Let’s try to do our part with the cards we were dealt. Rant is over.
