Of course if they do make these counties open to gun hunting it probably wouldn't take long for the "brown its downers" to to wipe out enough of the buck herdto eventually make hunting there no better than the rest of the state.
Am I wrong?
No you are not wrong.
But it should be about setting the proper kill limits to control the herd sizenot aboutbanning guns.
What's wrong with being a "brown it's down" guy? If you want to impose your idea of a trophy on someone else go buy up some land and manage it.
Wherein my post didI try to impose my idea of a trophy on anyone? All I said is people want to rifle hunt there because there arebig bucks present...BUT...the reason there arebig bucks there is because there is no rifle hunting aloud. I didn't say there is anything wrong with "brown it's down".
BTW...I dohunt privateland and manage it but thanks for your advice.
yeah I think you're wrong. What was the world record typical killed with? Where was it killed?
Does saskatchewan still produce monster deer in massive numbers despite gun hunting? The answer is yes. What about the kids who can't hunt with a bow yet? Can't we give them a shot with a firearm? As for the browner downer comment, that was implied, you have to admit that. I hunt private land and manage it also,
so how does this affect you that much unless you only hunt a couple acres? You know a deer's core area is usually less than a square mile right? if the guys around you manage I don't think you're going to be seeing much of an effect. Just saying.
Can you explain to me how there are any similarities between Saskatchewan and WV? Are you paying attention? This area started to produce mature bucks AFTER the DNR decided to make it bow only to reduce the hunting pressure that was wiping out the herd. Hunting pressure and habitatvaries a lot between different States/ Provinces. Why do think a state like MI produces so many fewer mature bucks than a state like Iowa for instance? Hunting pressure
I have many friends who are "brown it's down" type of hunters and that is good for them if it makes them happy. I never said any of this affects me. I was just making a simpleobservation. The rifle hunters who so badly want to get into this area to shoot big bucks would turn in back into what it was before the rifle ban.
