If you went to one of the meetings across the state, post what was the general consensus and key points. Here is what I came away with:

They had deer take numbers and they are down. There will likely be no doe permits in 7M again [:@].
I bet these key points will be similar throughout the state.

1) there were some extremes on both ends
2) lots of (almost unanomous) 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) - DEC worries about complaints from other "outdoor" activities (snowmobiles, hikers, x-country skiing) - as far as I know we don't shoot them, just deer???
4) the small game hunters are lost in all of this discussion
5) more coyote opportunities (lots of talk about that)
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
