RE: Bumbed out in wisconsin
I know you guys are bummed about how the regs work in your state. It sure makes me proud of our DNR in here in Ohio. They mostly manage for tags sales here too, but the bow hunters have been heard and are respected here. We owe a great deal of thanks to OSTA for that. OSTA is the Ohio State Traditional Archers group and they pushed for our bow season to be 1st Sat in Oct to last Sat in Jan. Also, they tried unsuccessfully(a good thing) to have crossbows banned from the Archery season. At least our bow season is in tact and we can bowhunt the rut. Small game season comes in during the rut, but it's not quite as bad as the invasion of deer gun hunters. In general, I think our DNR here in Ohio does a very good job.
