RE: Indiana
I am definetly not the only one who feels the gun season needs to be shortened. I agree trophyhunter that you cant change the mind set of other hunters. They will always shoot the first thing that walks by. The problem I face every year when gun season rolls around are the hundreds of shots I hear. I mean they just shoot up the woods. Im sure there are many more deer killed than we all know. How many of these deer are wounded and cant be found and then die. In the first 2 weekends of gun season I had counted over 400 shots. Thats just wasnt last year. Thats basically every year for the past 5 years. We keep a running total of shots. Now I do agree with the one buck rule. I believe thats a good thing. Maybe we should also add a size requirement for the bucks. Let the 1.5 and 2.5 year olds grow up. Im not trying to down grade this state. This is my home, but I would really like to see more trophy deer. I dont know what the solution is, but we definetly need some change...
