[QUOTE]Originally posted by BuyTex: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aragorn243: [qb] pegintex, Pennsylvania, Appalacian Mountain region. It's a mix of state game lands, federal and private lands. Our deer herd is very large but has suffered from over killing of bucks leading to small racks. The Game Commission started a new policy a few years back to prevent young bucks from being killed in large numbers. This is to help bring the doe/buck ratio closer to normal and to increase the numbers of larger bucks. It seems to be working. Antler sizes are getting larger while fewer bucks are being taken. It's pretty controversial with a lot of hunters. They claim too many does are being shot which is reducing the size of the herd. The herd was too large however and the woods understory was decimated. You walk through the woods and there is no growth at levels where a deer can reach. This forced them to move into the farmer's fields which caused another conflict. In any case, the program proceeds, the deer herd is getting smaller, hunters are complaining there are no deer but the bucks being harvested are much nicer.
