I don't believe the locals are to blame. I hunt around cranbrook for elk but we leave just before the doe season opens up. My relatives tell me the place turns into a shooting gallery after that, all the out of town hunters come thinking "well at least we will be guaranteed some meat" and the shoot up all of the does. The locals I know won't even take one and they bascially pack up after the doe season starts due to the increased traffic
