[QUOTE="okievarmint, post: 1684011, member: 6719"] Getting everyone to participate statewide could be accomplished by regulation changes (which was the basis for this post anyway). Yeah, it would be danged unpopular, but so was doe harvest years ago, then people saw it [I]worked[/I].You asked, Why would anyone pay a ton of money to lease in a big buck county to kill doe only? Reasons? Because Doe-only would be for 1 year out of three. The quality and number of bucks would go up substantially; and very quickly. The buck-doe ratio is improved. It's a management tool. It works. I don't ask for anyone never to kill a buck again, just let 'em walk every third year. If someone were to say, "Well, I'm not going to hunt there this year!", It would accomplish the same thing that year: no buck. I believe most hunters would like to improve the quality of the herd [I]and[/I] the harvest, such as more and bigger bucks, and would chose to participate. [I]Not[/I] choosing to participate in selective harvest would be their perogative, but could be viewed as short-sighted and selfish. It doesn't have to be permanent. The number and size of bucks have increased so much here, I may skip the next Third-year cycle and allow bucks. [/QUOTE]
