Randy,

I just re-read my post and it might seem like I am rubbing it in. That wasn't my intent at all. When Parke County had an EHD issue several years ago, it was the same way as you describe for a couple years. I couldn't have shot a doe if I wanted to. It took 3 years before I would shoot one. Now I shoot 1 (maybe 2 if one of my kids wants to shoot one) per year off the small property I hunt. The way it looks this year, I might up that a bit next year.

I guess my point is that deer are resilient. It'll get better.

The fact that it is an 8 doe county might have a psychological effect and give a false sense of abundance so someone might be more likely to kill a doe. But very few people shoot more than 3 deer per year no matter what. I am all for reducing quotas to a real world number.
