Steve, the DNR in my state could not find their hind quarters with both hands.
I have watched a very genrous bow season in my state that ran from Oct 1st to Jan 1st with only a 2 week gun season that ran from Nov 15th to the 30th giving us about 75 days to bow hunt. Now we have a youth season the weekend befor bow season opens, a 2 day handicap season in the middle of Oct, our regular gun season in Nov, a 10 day M/L season in Dec along with a 5 day gun season on private property. Now they want to extend the handicap season to 7 days and add another 5 day gun season in Oct. I dont even want to get into the lobbyist trying to cram the X bow into our regular bow season. We had the great deer slaughter of Mich about 6 or 7 years ago where they had 2.OO doe tags, some killed over 20 deer, 2 People I know killed 18 button buck between them. I'll give you on guess who were the biggest cry babies when they could not see a deer to shoot in the years after, we show no signs of recovery. They can have it, I am moving to Kansas.
