I sent my comments to the MDC. I like the current antler restrictions of at least 4 points on one side, but I don't want to see the antlerless season moved to October. I like bow hunting in late October. The deer have to be closer and there is more cover, but it is usually too warm in October for a major deer harvest. Sometimes it's too warm in November, and there just isn't enough ice in the state to keep all those field dressed deer cool enough before we can get them to the processor. It will be much worse 2 months earlier than the current December doe hunt. I am glad they moved the antlerless season from January to December. It's just cold enough to seem like deer season, but not miserable, there's no vegetation obscuring vision or shooting lanes and the deer are easier to see, especially if there is snow. January had showed us some pretty brutal hunting weather in past years.
