NO DOES. Someone need me to come kill some for them?

The assessment noted light to moderate adult deer mortality, but high fawn mortality estimated at nearly 90 percent.

Same here. I was hoping to smoke a doe or small buck with my bow for the first time. Now I can't shoot does, won't shoot a small buck, and there are even less deer.

Need to find a new spot to make a few hunts this year.

I have a badass place, but its in Shreveport and all box stands. I can kill plenty up there, but between school every other weekend and the new job and baby, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it up there more than once or twice.

MS licenses are high as giraffe snatch. If they weren't so damn much, my grandpaw has a decent club up there and I have a cousin who is on a ridiculous lease that I could hunt with. Not sure I want to drop another $500 for a few hunts.

I think he actually meant bow season. It appears no changes for archery season which would seem to mean you could shoot does with a bow.
