I'd be more happy if they made the slaughter a "little" tougher on gun hunters.
IMO.....I want gun hunters to have their fair share of time in the woods hunting. I just don't see why that has to be in the rut.....when bucks are at their most vulnerable.
I want NOTHING taken away from gun hunters. Give them their weeks afield. Good luck to them.
Answer me this.......you live in NC....where you can basically kill ALL the does you want to. But.....Rifle season starts when the rut starts. WHY woud you waste your time on a doe.....when it's the BEST time to kill a buck?
It's no wonder there are more bucks killed in NC than does. This isn't rocket science.
I agree. Gun hunters decimate the population here. I think they should shorten the gun season to 1 week and make it shotgun, no rifles. Look what it has done for Ohio and Illinois.
Hi LKNCHOPPERS,
What has it done? Allowed for more big trophy bucks? So? If that's all you hunt for i guess it matters but although i bow hunt i like to get out and hunt with my rifle. So shorten rifle season to 1 week just so someone else who doesn't want to rifle hunt can find more trophy bucks?
Although i wouldn't pass up a big buck, it's not why i like to get out there and hunt.
Yeah it would be nice to see a couple of mature bucks after 100 hours on stand. Shoot the does not the spikes and 4 pointers.....I don't see anything near overpopulation here where I live just a lot of small (bucks) deer being shot.
