Dosnt matter ^^ ... a high bonus number gives the impression of an over abundance of deer in those counties .... every one I know thinks the dropping of the bonus numbers is a good thing ..... since all I do is bow hunt, and do it on state land, Bonus tags no longer mean squat to me, but that dosnt mean I still dont think dropping is a good thing... it for sure is !! .. yes, I'll take my one or two deer with my bow and call it quits and go hunt something else .....now, when I leased, we used bonus tags and I was one who did kill multiple Does a season back then, and did so for quite a few years .. then I wised up and stopped the process as many I know did the same as deer numbers nose dived around here .... the deer numbers are still low in Porter County ....the urban/reduction tags see to that ..... does it effect me, yes and no, as I hunt only one small state area that is a draw and has limited days, many surrounding land owners have wised up and will not allow bonus tags or Does to be killed and if so, only during the youth season for a youngster ... and THAT is a good thing !!
