I am not surprised at all that the dnr is saying this. And they might be right about people not hunting after opening weekend. But from talking to all of the hunters I know: the reason is they didn't want to contribute to the problem of wiping out the deer herd. If the numbers are down why shoot more deer. I just hope we can stick together and get the idiots in madison to actually think what is best for the hunters (the dnrs source of funds) and the deer. As much as I wouldn't want to do it if we all skipped one season if they don't stop this whole "herd control" non-sense they would be crippled. But it would take everyone doing it!!! I guess we will have to show up to the spring meetings, let them know how we feel and go from there.
