Subject: Let's Talk About Bag Limits for Deer

Alright people! Now's the time to voice your opinions.

The FWC Whitetail Deer Management Team will be discussing changing the bag limits for deer in Florida in the real near futue.

Reasoning:
1. Deer in Florida are not over populated nor at maximum carrying capacity for the habitat. How you can tell is the deer your harvesting is healthy.

2. All you see is does you say! It's not because there are too many does, it's because there aren't enough bucks.

FWC says that's because we have over harvested the bucks. Therefore there needs to be a change made from 2 deer a day every day of the season to something a little more reasonable that will help build buck numbers.

3. Doe harvest is not the answer since it's gonna take does to produce more bucks. Doe harvest will only be considered for WMA's where the deer population is above carrying capacity and I haven't seen any of those around here. The biologists will determine when and where they need to be taken and offer doe permits for those areas.

4. Private land will still be able to harvest does to thin their numbers (doe week) and it is assumed by the commission these lands and herd are being managed properly.


WHAT IS THE BAG LIMIT OF BUCKS PER HUNTING SEASON THAT YOU COULD LIVE WITH AND WHY??
