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?
