[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5821183, member: 2805"] In MS, you are allowed 3 bucks and 2 or 3 does depending on area if the state as an individual. By enrolling on the DMAP program, the property is issued a certain number of tags for does to reach the biologists harvest objective. One single individual can kill all those does. Biological information such as jawbone, weight, lactation, and antler characteristics are collected and analyzed by the biologists. It's a good summary, especially when trended over time. The problem in MS is... the recommendations for doe harvest do not change from year to year. It's always recommended to kill 1 doe for every 40 acres under management. Deer weights trending up? Great, kill more does. Deer weights trending down, uh oh... need to kill more does. Age structure of does increasing, uh oh, need to kill more does. All the does that year are 1.5 and 2.5yos, you are doing great, kill more does. Excellent lactation rates? Better kill more does. None of the does lactating? Well you just need to kill more does. It's exceedingly rare for the regional biologist to actually set foot on the actual DMAP property and examine for browse lines, food availability, cover, and even population density. [/QUOTE]
