[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5819075, member: 1409"] "Earn-a-buck" has generally proven to be a bad idea, not working in reality like it does in theory. It has mainly rewarded dishonest hunters while punishing the honest ones. Just another "complication" in our regs that we don't need. I've also seen "earn-a-buck" contribute greatly to some dangerous hunting situations. Also keep in mind that many areas where a 1-buck limit might be considered to protect more bucks, absolutely don't need to be killing more female deer. [B]The best prescription for an increased doe harvest [/B](when needed)[B] is simply allowing more hunting, with firearms, coupled with a higher bag limit on antlerless deer. This might sometimes mean a 1-buck limit, as we currently see on many quota hunts, where the limit is "3 deer, no more than 1 antlered".[/B] [/QUOTE]
