It's very true what's already been said here that the DNR absolutely does NOT care about what we as hunters think. It didn't matter how many people posted their thoughts on the internet or went to the preliminary meetings in regards to 2010's season structure as they will go ahead and make the longer October seasons as well as the longer November gun season. For those of us that are bowhunters as well, we might as well hang up the bows for the month of October being it seems like there will be a total of 15 days of firearm hunting in Oct. next year. I know quite a few people already stating they will for no reason buy any kind of a deer hunting license in WI next year, and I can't say as I blame them.
The following is pulled right from the WI DNR website, and all I can say is DO THE MATH to the DNR. They are pushing for it to be like it was in the 60's when you were lucky just to see a track let alone a deer! Have a good laugh at the morons deciding our hunting future!

MADISON – A survey of Wisconsin deer registration stations conducted by the state Department of Natural Resources has yielded a preliminary tally of 195,647 for the just-ended, nine-day November gun deer hunt. This includes a buck tally of 86,251 and an antlerless tally of 109,396.
This number is preliminary and is expected change before a final report is published in late winter. It does not include harvest information from the archery, October antlerless gun deer hunt, muzzleloader, December antlerless deer gun hunt or late archery seasons. The preliminary harvest count in 2008 was 276,895.
