I've heard this story from three seperate individuals that do not know each other. Only difference was it was to control the booming hog population.
Oh crap, now its the hog population.......when will it ever quit???????
For everybodys information, the wildlife Departmemt has made it easier to hunt with less regulations for many years in an attempt to control the doe population that is exploding in different parts of the state.
Shoot the does!!
You can fill your freezer with meat, and let the small bucks walk for another year to grow.
I know the argument that if you don't shoot it, the neighbor will, but recent research with bucks outfitted with radio collars have proved this false.
They have their range and if one doesn't bump them too often in the beddng areas, they will stay. Just read this in Outdoor Life Magazine.
