Why this petition matters

Started by Dan Ferialdi

California defines a legal buck as forked horned or better. These deer are 1-2 years old and have not had a chance to develop the "street smarts" fo survive their first season. California premium deer hunts take an average of 3 preference points to draw a tag and changing all X zone hunts to a 3 point minimum would give the deer population a chance to mature improving trophy quality resulting in more revenue from out of state tag applications and possibly providing hunters with more late season opportunities during the rut to provide the herd balance objectives set by wildlife biologists in the state. Meat hunters would still have ample opportunities for forked horn bucks in non premium units and 3 point or better bucks in premium units would improve.
