just got back from the meeting. Yes, they did have deer take numbers and they are down. Here is my take on the meetings (and I bet it will be similar throughout the state):

1) there were some extremes on both ends
2) lots of no ML in bow, but also some good support for early ML week in beginning of Oct. (if there is any early ML); definitely no ML in middle of bow
3) extend late ML (lots of support for that)
4) we are forgetting the small game hunters
5) more coyote opportunities
6) lower hunting age

worst part I see is the bickering and complaining about/between different hunting groups - the "they can do this now", "why do they have to have that", they don't need that", "I...", "I......., "I....", but there was some commonsense, give 'n' take compromise talk, hopefully that will prevail and DEC will adopt something that all can live with
