That would support their argument of too many deer. IMO with not much data, i don't think it's a population problem as much as an access problem. The areas they want deer killed, try getting access to that land from property owners....
Yup, To get an additional buck tag, you gotta pop a doe. Once reported, DEC will add a second buck tag to your account. Questions is, what's stopping folks from reporting a doe early in the year? Will they require pic with current date and geo tag?
I use 25# suffix superior year round. I'm not anal enough to start light in spring and change heavier throughout the year. Been using it for years and have nothing bad to say about it.
