I did not say the eradication policy makes them easier to shoot. Hunting with a RIFLE or shotgun for three straight weeks when their guard is way down makes them much easier to shoot they are on the move all day. That is why none of the sporting goods stores that are sponsoring a big buck contest will accept any deer taken prior to the 19th. It is to easy. The comnent about shooting fish in a barrel was spoken by three so called hunters (at a registration station)who shot there buck in five minutes out of the same field. Laughing about how easy it was. Maybe we just have a higher ethical standard around herethan most and more respect for the animal we hunt. In the last four years I could have taken at least three deer that score 150 or better and numerousamount in the 120 to 140 class but I would not consider it hunting I call that shooting.
Now after that being said I would be in favor of a two day youth hunt at the end of Oct. to get their blood flowing and encourging them to hunt nicer weather and all. But for grown men and women I don't thiink so.
