I agree, that's why a statwide bag limit of 2 bucks is needed.

Casey, the main focus of taking does is done to balance the buck to doe ratio. Fawns born for recruitment depends on a number of things, not just how many does you have.

Yes this will be a problem around some WMA's, but this could be offset somewhat with a statewide two buck bag limit.

I can tell you from experience that with a two buck bag limit a lot of hunter will not fill that secound tag with a small buck. This mainly happens for two reasons. One their hoping for that big one, and secound they know when they fell that secound tag thier hunting season is over. Sure some hunter will abuse the bag limit, but most hunter are ethical and will obey it. Anyway we have to start somewhere and if the 3pt rule on these WMA's is all the FWC is willing to do at this time I'm all for it.
