Well all I know to tell you to do is to either save up a little money and get a lease or make friends with folks that own some land......

Now go back and read the study again and you will find that the harvest numbers only went down the first year. After that they either met or exceeded the long term harvest average. This plan does not decrease your chance of a buck. Also with the new proposed changes it will now increase your chance at a buck because the one buck counties will now turn into a 2 buck county (1 over the restrictions and one spike). I am still having problems seeing any negative from the prgram.

Oh, OK. I'll just go out and spend a couple grand (min)
for the opportunity to hunt a few days a season. Thanks
for the advice, I never thought of that.
("Let them eat cake" comes to mind for some reason.)

I've read, and on your advice re-read the studyand still
see nothing that convinces me this is anything, not a thing
more than antler (trophy) management.
Where does it show how this will increase anyones
chance to put meat in the freezer?
Who benefitsother than trophyhunters wanting to force ALL hunters
to huntin waystobenefit their goals? Show me
how this is going to help the entire deer herd population
when the ONLY stipulation is based on ANTLER SIZE/SPREAD?

As I've said, I'm different than most here. But I'm not
convinced I'mwrong or alone in my thinking, maby just
on an internet huntingforum.

Thanks for the input.
