You beat me to it. I was just about to post. Glad to see new quotas are lower. Deer numbers have been way down. Hopefully this will help.

I see our county no longer has the late season antlerless hunt since we are now down to 3 bonus deer. I'm glad to see it based on the numbers we see around us.

After three years of no success, I just want to take one doe!

That map SUCKS!
I finally get property of my own, and the quota drops to 2 bonus county antlerless for BOTH counties I hunt.

14 counties with 8 to only 3 this year. Pretty big drop.

This. Missing a shot is not the same as NOT EVEN SEEING A DEER DURING SEASON. For two years! I'd even appreciate the CHANCE to miss a shot.

Very interesting. I’ve seen more deer this year on our hunting ground than ever before. Seems to be the anomaly based on your feedback.

Nice to see the number down in Huntington County. The State allowed US to decimate the herd there. With a little restraint the deer can build back up.
OH BOY OH BOY! WE CAN SHOOT 4 6 8 (PICK ONE) DEER THIS YEAR! Next year: THEY AINT NO DEER ANYMORE! STATE SLAUGHTERED THE HERD!
huh.

Everyone wonders why hunter numbers are down and young people aren't as interested in hunting anymore-boredom! When you hunt day after day and don't see a single deer a lot of people loose interest.I remember days of seeing 10-15 different bucks and piles of does-now I have many days of not seeing a single deer,yet they continue to have bonus tags and park hunts.IDNR= Incompentents Doing Nothing Right!

if you add up all those numbers, that will be the number of deer a lifetimer can get. plus a buck.

Help me out. What's the "A" mean?

Help me out. What's the "A" mean?

I can help you with that one. In a nutshell, it means that Tipton County sucks. Specifically, it means that you can use a bonus tag in the last 4 days of firearms through the end of the hunting season.

Snarkyness aside, I do find it interesting that there are now 3 “A” counties whereas I believe Tipton was the only one for several past years.
