    The Okanagan will lose any buck in 8-12 to 8-15.
    Growing old is unavoidable. Growing up is highly overrated....

    fine by me.
    I hate the any "buck" season anyway.
    as long as they keep a youth hunt open, it's all good.
    if it's for the betterment of the deer populations, then everyone should be happy about it.

    Wonder what the next step is gonna be, when closing little bucks doesn't turn MD declines around.

    Maybe a 5 point season, to keep more wolves healthy through the winter..........

    would you rather they do nothing and let the deer pops continue to decline?

    Well exactly, if the buck to doe ratio is ok and the any buck season is not harming the overall numbers of deer and the doe's are being bread........why change........just to appease a few whiners ? Politics should never dictate management strategies.

    Typical non scientific crap, managing hunters not managing wildlife. Funny they claim its EK residents who are against any buck seasons but its EK residents who are killing the little bucks not hunters from out of region.
    So now we go back to blasting every deer with good genetics and letting the ones with bad genetics do the breeding.

    very bad idea this ensures all bad gentics bucks to survuve unless taken by the environment even if the doe has half the genetics they will get weeker in time

    Personally, I don't like the MD any buck season either, because I would like to see more mature MD bucks. That said, the decline in the MD population is a symptom of greater problems, and has nothing to do with the any buck season. Habitat loss, heavy snows (especially in conjunction with cold spring weather) and predation are the greatest threats IMO.
    I won't always be young, but I can be immature forever
