[QUOTE="ROB, post: 5875096, member: 331"] In western KY, bordering Tennessee, hunters can kill unlimited doe! That's right, unlimited. The basic deer permit allows 4 deer (3 antlerless, 1 antlered or antlerless). The bonus deer permit allows additional 2 antlerless deer. You can buy as many bonus permits as you want. But, almost nobody buys any! Most of the area is crop fields (corn, soybeans, alfalfa), I hunt in this area & have personally seen over 100 deer in one field. One of the butchers at the processor I used to use would routinely harvest 20-24 does each year. He came from a big, poor family & they ate every doe. However, this is the exception, not the rule. Deer hunters in Ky kill more bucks than does and have an average take of 1.4 deer per year. So, while it's legal to kill unlimited does, the average hunter won't even kill one per year! The bottom line is it doesn't make any difference what the limit is if nowhere near that many does are being harvested. [/QUOTE]
