Smaller wmus should be a "given" but Rosenberry has been asked about this for years now and his reply is ALWAYS basically not gonna happen. Which in my opinion is absolutely rediculous. As long as smaller wmus were implemented and not treated the same as currently, with basic statewide doe tag carpet bombing, a significant portion of problems could be addressed.
Doe allocations need cut nearly across the board. Not just "public land" and not just one wmu. Currently the numbers prove that reduction has occurred since "stabilization" claims were made, and it needs addressed. Although some of the very worst areas are public land, Most of the state is NOT public land and some areas have much private land that is open to hunting, yet no desire of the landowners to manage for or against the deer herd. Private landowners wanting fewer deer have MANY tools at their disposal. red tag, dmap, and shoot 'em up day or night regulations now. I guess the problem lies in the fact that those provisions dont pertain to ecoextremist birdhuggers.
