The fix ... 2 deer per hunter state wide, only one of which can be a buck. Buy your two deer tags and a MANDATORY hunting license. Hunt your deer during the seasons that are open using legal weapons. End this madness of bonus antlerless or a special antlerless season or weapon specific tags. Then let the hunter decide if he wants to limit his hunting to one deer as his area herd suggests or if he feels he can take two. This nonsense of taking 3 or more deer has to stop though.
But that plan cuts into State revenue and this is what our system here in Indiana is really all about ... money. It never really has been about the deer or the health of the herd. It has always been about the hunter's wallet.
Shortening and pushing back gun season would help too ... but that is a whole different debate.
How would you limit Urban areas and draw hunts for state wide limits?
