Germ, Great question. I agree very much on many of your MI rules:

In addition to Germ,

[ol][*]Re-evaluate deer population's.[*]Hand out less doe licenses for many areas.[*]Take care of wolves.[*]Maybe a littleshorter seasons during better times.[*][/ol]

Missouri:

1) make the antler restriction statewide (4pts on a side)
2) Limit the amount of tags for both bucks/does (overpopulation isoverated)
3) raise the price of tags for nonresidents
4) make shooting button bucks illegal
5) and of course you'll need more law officers to enforce my new changes
6)eliminate the youth seasons,sorry kids but i grew uphuntingwithout them andi still loved it, you can too.you'll be a better hunter for it.

9.) permanently revoke anyone's hunting license ifcaught shooting a ligitimate hunting dog (not to be confused with yotes and strays) even if dog is running deer.
that made me think of another change; making it legal to shoot any dog running on your land/property period! I cant stand it when people think they can let their dogs run all over others land.

Just a few:

1. Hire more GW's
2. Make mandatory an archery proficiency test.
3. Reduce the number of buck tags to 1, statewide (for a few years).

Sylvan....I'm a little confused by this one....

Expand tag transfer program to include buck tags.

For Michigan:

1. More CO's. Too many poachers out there!

2. One buck limit per hunter per calendar year. This will make guys be a little more selective with that one buck tag and stop shooting the "monster spikes". Everybody gets two antlerless permits per calender year.

3. Rifle Season is moved to Dec 1 - Dec 15. Having rifle season during the peak of the rut is insane. (It'll never happen)

4. In-line muzzle loaders allowed during rifle season only. The special muzzle loader season is reserved for the Flintlok guys.

5. Get rid of that special youth gun hunt in September. Hunting with a rifle in September is poaching. I don't care how old you are. If a kid want's to shoot a nice buck with a rifle, he should wait until rifle season like I had to when I was 14.

6. Expand opportunities for bowhunting in Southern Michigan by offering tax breaks for landowners who allow bowhunters on their farms. Create a website to match landowners to bowhunters to support this initiative.
I especially like #2 and #5. In the UP, there needs to be more doe tags in certain areas. The ratio is way out of whack. Mandatory check stations are the other thing that I would absolutely do. Also, raise the price of non-resident deer tags. Michigan is a bargain at 2 for $125 I think.

1) Go back to having check stations.
2) 1 buck per year, period.
