Okay, help me out here...
Let's face it, the 23 day deal would be a huge mistake.
Really?? Why?? Why would that be such "a huge mistake". If overpopulation is really the problem, then enabling folks who can't get off on Thanksgiving week a chance to hunt seems to be a reasonable enough thing to do.
And yes, there should be earn-a-buck, but make it retroactive.You would have to shoot a doe this year to get a buck tag next year.It's a win-win situation.
Again, why? T-zone has not brought the population down in the units in question, in spite of special hunts that enabled the killing of
thousands of additional antlerless deer. So how is EAB (retroactive or not), which is sure to encourage a number of hunters to
not hunt supposed to solve anything? That's a "win-win???
