Were you able to harvest plenty of deer for meat

Limits too high

overharvesting....

crop permits....

poaching....

I get it.

I stand on habitat, you show me prime whitetail deer habitat (food, water, cover to hide in) I will show you plenty of deer. These plantation cut pine forest with very little cover and food under them, and I will show you very little deer sign.

Not every place is bursting with deer.

Not every property is equal in carrying capacity.

Some properties are overharvested.

Some are underharvested.

And yes the DNR should ask the legislature for authority over bag limits.

I shot zero deer this year...a first for me. Din't matter cause I had a buddy shoot me a fat doe and I can shoot a deer anytime I want...got plenty around.
I only use maybe 3 deer a year tops anyways. I'm kinda fond of Shrimp , Fish , Pork ribs , Arroys de Pollo and steak . I don't hunt deer to feed my family or survive . It's Special dishes and lot's of enjoyment for me.

I haven't killed a doe in about 4-5 years. This year I killed two great bucks. Plenty of meat for us.
