They have not posted these updates to the DNREC Website yet, but i'll take OLDSNOWS word for it.

Unless you are a farmer who is having major crop loss because of deer, WE MUST NOT PARTICIPATE IN THESE GUN SEASONS!!!!

These seasons were thrown together with no research. This format has no historical data from other states to prove that it will be effective. Not only that, DNREC cant even prove there is a deer overpopulation problem. Im sure in some areas there is a problem, but setting these seasons up state wide is irresponsible. It really pisses me off and makes me sick. This is all political, there is no research or science in this at all.

Bowhunters, kiss your quality hunts in October good bye. Shotgun hunters, forget seeing any quality deer in Nov because they'll all be gun shy, rut or no rut. And mark my words, write this down, after the 1st year increase in harvest because the deer will be caught off guard, the kill rates will drop. The deer will wise up after one season.

Im going to go throw up now. Good Night.

PS: Protest these seasons by NOT participating. If the harvest doesnt rise, DNREC wont have a leg to stand on next year. Help save the deer from over harvest. Save the resource. Save our hunting heritage.
