This would eliminate the leftover tag season (aka shed buck season).

I have thinking on this reflecting on season after closing.
One idea that comes to mind is you can only get doe tags for the season that you have for your anysex gun tag for. I know a PILE of guys that will get a doe tag for G1/G2 and hunt with a group to be able to shoot others buck tags and then they get their own statewide late muzzle tag.
Close the loophole there and you take pressure away as well as un-needed does killed. With the reduced hunters in a group you also make the group less effective at killing.

I would agree with this idea. Would be a good step towards ending tag sharing.

What I would like to know if how they justify amount of doe tags per county. Bowhunter survey?
Now as a Decatur county resident and live very near a large public section..there are some big acreage private farms near me as well. I see lots of out of county plates at these public areas during this late doe season which leads me to believe these public areas are getting quite a bit of the pressure. So are these late doe season only reducing the "numbers" on public lands for counties that don't have the late season?
What I am getting at is, to me this should be section in the county regulated not whole county.
When the neighbors (hunters specialties) would take 100s of does off their farm then that made sense. (We would grab deer from them to feed people from the church by the 12' trailer load)

The Hunter's Specialties farm is in Missouri. Are you thinking of Drury's in Decatur County?

Could say staff members, then
You could use any of those large farms to be honest to get the idea.
