Default RE: POLL: What would WISportsmen change?

Well, here' s my take:

1) Gripes. Inconsistency and a tad bit of intellectual dishonesty. For example, the yearly debate over deer population and targets. Don' t set targets based on SAK, and then when it doesn' t turn out, blame it all on any of the following a) the weather, b)a Packer game, c) overlap with duck hunting...etc. Maybe, just maybe, as this year attests, there are flaws with a model that relies so heavily on the previous years buck kill to come up with population figures.

With regards to the CWD issue, many of the same applies, but I' ll second Nick on his post. No need to reopen the whole issue.

Lack of wardens is also a problem. Then when you run into one, it seems as though some of them are looking to do a cavity search! []

2) What do I like? Licensing is easy. The structures of the seasons seem to be just about right (not too short or long).

Not sure if I' d be wild about a point restriction, although we practice QDM.

BTW
To improve the buck doe ratio to say 1 to 3 at most
Just curious; where did you come up with that ratio? Don' t get me wrong, I' d love to see more balance in the herd, but what is the current ratio, and is achieving that ratio possible?
