I have to admit, that's pretty funny.
Deer are getting scarce...bucks, does...all of em.
My .02... Bonus tags, plus yotes, plus habitat loss, plus increased traffic, equals QUIT KILLING EVERY DOE YOU SEE.

Prediction: Within 3 years, the impact of coyotes will play a significant role in deer management in NC and the SE US.
How many yearling does?
Same.Where I still hunt I have not noticed a shortage of does or bucks either for that matter. I have noticed a shortage of BIG bucks though. Today I got to the stand at 4:30 and had 8 does out by 4:40. No bucks ever showed.
Saw lots of yearlings and mature does all through bow season. Saw a few during the rut, and currently haven't seem much moving at all. Today I didn't see a deer, which is the first day
I have seen at least one deer. I think it's more weather related than anything.
Would you want to move around much sporting a heavy winter coat and the weather is a balmy 55 degrees and climbing to 65-70 daily?
First I was a crazy conspiracy theorist, now I'm a grumpy hipster. Your deductive reasoning skills are outstanding.<--Sarcasm
This, however, is a great idea. <--Not sarcasm.
