Judge, you are not fully informed as to herd management and land-animal ratio. If all that are shot are bucks, there are less to breed the does that you want protected. How do you expect Game Wardens to enforce this regulation you want? Killing does is necessary to keep a healthy herd otherwise the land cannot support the number of deer on it and that’s how massive winter kills happen.

Outlaw the taking of doe’s. Ambushing a Doe(Female-Mother Deer) and shooting(murdering) her, leaving her Fawn’s(children) to fend for themselves is wrong. If you think the off-springs don’t notice their mother missing, you’re wrong again. Shooting a doe is not sport and teaches nothing but cold blooded taking of animals is O.K.
I lived in Broken Bow and the Bollings are Right. The tourist are not responsible for the litter and the violations. The locals are responsible for trashing out the area.

My husband and I are 74 and 68 years old. We have been camping and riding 4 wheelers in Honobia and Three Rivers WMA areas for years.
It is the only place we can ride and feel safe from getting run over by other 4 wheelers and motorcycles. We have always paid our permit fees in January and have spent a lot of time north of Cloudy all the way to Honobia. In riding the roads and trails, we notice that all the trash along the roads is deposited by local people that travel to work, home, etc. not by off-road vehicles. Look at some of the yards of people that live in the area, you will see which ones throw out trash on the roads. In every area we ride through that has been logged, especially off the main roads, trash is left by the loggers, not campers and riders. We do not throw out tires off the equipment and buckets, barrels, oil bottles, etc. We clean up our trash and any trash left by others.
The comment made by State Representative R.C. Pruett in the Antlers meeting about “garbage and beer cans scattered along the roadway” doesn’t wash. It is not CAMPERS AND 4 WHEELERS throwing out trash. Again, look at some of the yards of people that live in the area, you will see which ones throw out trash on the roads.
