Default RE: Change in Ark. deer rules?

if they shorten anything, I think it should be gun season!
for Gods sake, the bowhunters are not the ones hurtin the
deer population. and I do beleive the population is down.
when I first heard the deer were stayin in a particular area
because of the abundance of acorns, it made since. but, if that's
the case, then why are hunters seein fewer deer durin the rut.
ya'll know that the deer are gonna move about durin the rut.

I beleive the reason for fewer deer, is the rediculos bag limit
on doe. 4 doe per season is just too many doe. it was ok for a few years, to even out the doe to buck ratio, but, now we are killin
to many doe. it takes a doe to make a buck, and bucks are what we
all want to see more of.

I don't mind givin up Feb bow season for deer, but I think they should keep bow season open through feb for turkey.

I think they should shorten gun by 2 weeks, and muzzel loadin season
by 1 week. we all know it's the guns that take the majority of
the deer each year. I'd rather see em make a 6 point or better rule
than cut our buck limit down to 1 buck.

who do we write to give our opinions? I mean, who from the commision?

I hope to God, they don't shorten bow season except maybe for Feb.
what do ya'll think?
