[QUOTE="the man, post: 2008905, member: 8259"] I do wonder at times if we are over harvesting. Allout's #'s are great and fairly accurate...but it only takes in account deer actually checked in. I hear talk all the time about ""so and so killed a doe and didn't check it in because they process the meat themselves". Sometimes these are land owners and don't feel the need or the responsibility of checking them in or just unethical hunters in general. I understand they should check them in and the right thing to do would be to turn everyone of them in...but it isn't always realistic. I'm sure everyone on here knows someone who is guilty of it. I would guess than an additional 15k-20k are killed and not accounted for (illegal as well as road kills). I do understand the OWDC's limitations so a lot of the responsibility lies with us hunters to manage our own land and to pass it on to the next generation. I personally wish they would go to a one buck per season limit and have the gun season in December after the breeding takes place. Just my two cents...and i know it is covered in another thread here.
