You guys have like three month long bow seasons, 2 or three gun seasons, you can take more than one deer and in most cases you can hunt the whole state. Did I mention that you can actually get a deer tag?

Appreciate what you got folks, we have:

• bow season is less than 30 days
• the state is in over 100 sections, you can only hunt one of them for gun seasons
• you have an over all 60 percent likelehood of getting the tag you want in the area you want but not the season you want
• there is no antlerless season in january, EVER!
• there is no asking for permission to hunt on private land, the rich hunters ruioned this long ago here
• there is no hunting lease here
• elk has an over all 19 percent success rate state wide

Count your blessings midwesterners!
