I'd be more happy if they made the slaughter a "little" tougher on gun hunters.

IMO.....I want gun hunters to have their fair share of time in the woods hunting. I just don't see why that has to be in the rut.....when bucks are at their most vulnerable.

I want NOTHING taken away from gun hunters. Give them their weeks afield. Good luck to them.

Answer me this.......you live in NC....where you can basically kill ALL the does you want to. But.....Rifle season starts when the rut starts. WHY woud you waste your time on a doe.....when it's the BEST time to kill a buck?

It's no wonder there are more bucks killed in NC than does. This isn't rocket science.
I agree. Gun hunters decimate the population here. I think they should shorten the gun season to 1 week and make it shotgun, no rifles. Look what it has done for Ohio and Illinois.

GMMAT you actually said ..you wish the slaughter was tougher on gun hunters? How many deer were you responsible for Killing last year? You keep proclaiming your a rookie or a newbie..how many deer have you killed in 2 years? How many gun hunters do you KNOW that took more in that time period??



Lkn Chompers..what has a 1 week season done for Ohio and Illinois? Why don't you enlighten us. By the way, Ohio isin excess of 25 days (thats over 3 weeks ;))... We have many different gun seasons.


Geez the elitests are out in forcebeating the same old tired drum...

No. Ohio has an early muzzleloader for certain state areas in late October. Then the youth gun season is in the rut and is a weekend. Then regular gun season is a week after Thanksgiving. Then they added another gun weekend two weeks later. Then a muzzleloader season that is less than a week in January.

This past year they added extra doe tags for archers in the early season (before gun season).

The youth season is kind of nice b/c the kids have a good chance of seeing and getting a shot at a deer and most kids will shoot the first deer that walks by anyway. By the law of averages, if everyone did that, then there would be no need for QDM;)

Can you Bowhunt during rifle season in Missouri cuz i read the Rules and regulations and in one part it said that you could and in another it said you couldent.:eek:
From Missouri Department of Conservation Online - see Methods Allowed below. Sure you can bow-hunt during firearms season.... it's just that the firearms harvest rules apply.

Do you have to use a firearm tag if you kill a deer with a bow during the rifle season in MO

i agree but it is not about gun hunting the rut but about letting them grow bigger
if someone wonts to shoot that spike there going to do it with a bow or gun just might take them longer with a bow

It's not about rifle vs bow, its a debate on management. Most feel that having a rifle season during the rut allows for too many bucks to be killed. Bow seasons aren't as effective on a widespread basis at controlling deer numbers as gun seasons are. So yes, in my opinions gun seasons should be kept out of the rut, not because I don;t like guns, but becuase I like to allow bucks to grow older.
