Sorry EJ but none of that makes any sense.

First, the loudest opponents toHR have been fighting doe tags since the first bonus tag came of the press in the 80's. Going back to a county system will not stop the disputes over doe tag numbers.

Second, county lines do nothing toward solving the problems with the present WMU's. The valid reason for smaller WMU's is to better manage smaller geographic areas according to the habitat and herd.Man madeinvisible boundaries through the woods that are arbitrary to herd and habitat makezero sense.

It's obvious that we have widely varying habitat and herd within the WMU's but man made lines created decades, even centuries ago are not the way to fix that. For starters, the vast public land holdings are most definitely candidates for seperate WMU's

I agree with the principle of smaller WMU's but I also concede that smaller WMU's make the job of deer management far more complex than it already is.At least the move to smaller WMU's should be delayed until it is more clear that the herd has been stabilized and the present WMu management has stabilized to the maximum extent possible.
