What gets me is all the hunters that say they are killing,or trying to kill multiple deer,to "do their part"to help the state reduce the deer herd.The deer herd in the areas I hunt in Ripley and Dearborn is way under 10% of what it was 20 - 25 years ago,yet they raised Ripley bonus tags to 8.The C.O.'S I know say that number should be zero.The park managers have no say in whether the parks get hunted or not.In respect to deer management-IDNR = Idiots Doing Nothing Right!
Well them raising Ripley County to 8 probably has to do more with car-deer accidents/ farm damage then hunter harvest...
When insurance companies start complaining then the number is increased to shut them up...
