I'm disappointed with this thread.
I opened it thinking Mo would be smiling with a 170 inch buck on the ground!
That makes too much sense for our DNR to do it. How could they mess the data up then?Like I said before....register by county?
Why do we not do that in MN?
So simple. Both Iowa and Missouri register (detailed) by county.
I just got an education on my hometown hunting zone. In 285 this year, they offered 1100 doe permits in the lottery. In 2013, 589 deer were harvested. Seems like an eradication effort to me. Or perhaps it's already shot out and now it's just a revenue raiser to see if people will keep buying licenses.

Do hunters in that zone still complain about only being able to shoot one deer?That is my old zone. I use to hunt near Lester Prairie. One year it was Managed, still don't think it has ever recovered from that. Seems to me I remember doe permits usually being in the 300-600 range most years. Seems a little non-conservative in this year of conservative regulations.
