I guess the earn a buck doesn't bother me too badly. However, this 23 day gun season I am opposed to. They want to enact this and take out the t zone and earn a buck. I think if they make it 23 days it gives those few another 14 days to wait for a buck. Now, how is that going to reduce teh doe population? Also, up north they do not have a late t zone because of snowmobiling etc. If you increase it to 23 days you will be right back to having the same days as the late t zone. You might as well use your muzzle loader for a tree stake. Why would you handicap yourself if you can use a rifle? Late season bow hunting is hard enough after the 9 day season, imagine if it were 23 days. Should the deer be stressed for 23 days before going into a long winter? Soory for rambling on, but I could go on.
