A lot of the problem with things is the longer season on antlerless. Hunters have far more opportunity to fill those tags now. I've never cared for concurrent seasons personally. People also seem to take no peronal responsibility for their actions. Many areas need hunting pressure and some need a break. The GC has a limit to how small they can break down the WMUs. This is where the common sense should kick in on the hunter's part. Instead of sitting in the same spots that aren't producing, why not go where the deer are actually at? This is why the longer concurrent season's are messing with you guys. A hunter will wait out a spot in a low density area and shoot the last doe there. instead of hitting a more productive area that can use the harvest. Scouting and productive efforts are lost when hunters are no longer under the gun to fill that tag within a three day window.
I am just wondering what you mean by moving to a different area? What is your definition of a different area? Are you talking about climbing up over the top to hunt the other side of the mountain? Are you talking about going across the road to hunt ther other mountain? Are you talking about moving 3 miles down the road to hunt a different location? Are you talking about moving toa different location in the county? Are you talking about moving to a different county? How far do you think you have to move to find these, "Pockets"?
