KC...I'm a buckeye, and I agree with you. BUT...the DNR came out directly and said that due to people's holiday commitments that they were NOT seeing the number of hunters in the woods that they had hoped...and that this new later season over a weekend would get more hunters in the woods.

I'm a teacher, and I'm off over Christmas...so I am not happy about the change. But, I guess we'll have to wait and see if the DNR knows what they are doing.
