This is, unfortunately, another example of the DNR' s linear way of thinking. " If there is an average of X number of deer shot per day, then if we add 15 days to the season, we will then have 15X number of deer killed." Problems are: 1) about 1/2 half of the harvest occurs in the first three days of the season, 2) most hunters won' t hunt more than 9 days anyway, and 3) the deer will be virtually impossible to see, much less shoot, after two weeks of gun hunting.

If they enact it, so be it. I just don' t think we' ll get anything in the way of an increased harvest.
