I'm writing today because it is just plan and simple there is too many does being shot in Michigan. Deer population just keeps lowering and lowering. I can understand one per person but, 5 come on thats freakin ridiculous. Theres not deer like there use to be. All the early doe hunts don't help it either. You hardly see any deer like you use to up north. You use to see 100 to 150 deer in a field at a time now your lucky to see 8 or 10. What i'm trying to say is please stop shooting the does. People would see a lot more deer and a lot more bucks. You figure every doe has 2 fawns a year so if you passed on 50 does thats a 100 deer there will be in the woods next year and you figure 25% of them will be bucks. Plus if people pass on does there will be a lot less chance of button bucks being killed. And i'm not trying to say don't shot does i'm just saying don't shoot so many. 1 per person would be as bad. It would help Michigans deer hunting.
