wyoming has a heck of a lot more deer than most of the states that allow for this tye of harvest.the difference is that wyoming will be plentiful as long as they continue management like they have now.in places that have liberal bag limits sooner or later the herd seems to disapear due to over hunting and poor management.here is an example.in florida a hunter can take 2 bucks per day every day of the 3 month season.on private land there are 2 weekends during the season which does can be killed.on public land there are no doe days at all. the only time does can be culled from the herd is during archery season and you can get 2 does per day every day of the 6 week season.here is the problem.every buck that someone sees is being killed by rifle hunters.bucks have to travel much less during the rut to find a hot doe because they are everywhere so the bucks dont move.young bucks are more likely to breed the mature does creating a weaker fawn and quality bucks are few and far between.if you come to florida i can show you deer but most of what you see will be does, fawns and young bucks.many states have managed the herd based on the public being able to see animals not on what is best for the herd(which would let the public see more quality animanls).a big pile of deer like that is a great hunt for a group of people but harvest rates like that will be short lived.krshunter said:
