Is it working?

Harvest record/game check rule history:

History: New Rule: Filed September 6, 2007; effective October 11, 2007.

That's when the dcnr decided to change its own mission from the state defined purpose of conservation to "qdm" deer management.

Doe bag limits went from a few per year to two per day, and buck bag limits went from 119/yr to 3 with an antler restriction. The purpose was said to be balancing the buck/doe ratio, adjusting buck age structure and adjusting carrying capacity to fit the habitat.


******************************
That was 16 years ago.

Is it working?

Is its results worth the loss of constitutional government involved and loss of freedom and liberty involved?

Has a state deer biologist ever visited the land where you hunt to evaluate the conditions there?

It does not work. The deer are the same size , body weight , and score as they were 10, 20, 30 years ago.

The only thing that’s changed is there are less deer everywhere from mobile to north of Huntsville.

A bag limit can’t change the age structure or trophy potential. It’s stupid to think it can and sounds like some ghey QDMA theory. If a doe makes up half of the genetics there’s no way of knowing if the ones being killed are the ones that were bred by the buck that would always be a 112 inch 5 year old eight point , so no , their theory doesn’t work and it makes about as much biological sense as a football bat.
