Well nitro23, if hawgz is who I think it is, you maybe barking up the wrong tree about hunting harder than he does. That is of course unless you don't have a job, but it would still be hard to hunt more than him. Now as far as those letters go, I wouldn't even bother. From what I understand, the commisioners have already made their minds up about a month ago. They were presented what the public had to say as well as what the biologists had to say and they didn't take either one of our advice (that's all hear say of course). But, I hope they do start closing it and the end of January. I think the deer have had enough pressure by that time of the year and they need to be left alone to prepare for antler growing and fawning. If you hadn't killed them by the end of Jan. you should have hunted more early or maybe you just weren't meant to kill them.
