DNR
 

Do you think your dnr is doing the wright thing in your state?

I am from wisconsin and the dnr is just crazy. We had a bad year realy bad not many people were seeing deer and the numbers are realy low for deer being killed. Now they say that this is a good thing and that this is how they think it should be.

All in all I think Kentucky manages their hunters and deer herd rather well.

They offer a 2-3 week rifle season peak rut to keep all the gun hunters happy, yet limit us to one buck per season, and give bowhunters Sept-Jan to hunt. They seem to know how to keep all parties happy and still keep deer numbers in check. I am satisfied, and honestly, don't want to see KY change back to a two buck state. I like how one buck tag pressures people to hold off for bigger deer, however selfish that may be.

Illinois is going to be lucky to still have a DNR with our governor running amok. I think they did ok when they had funding and reasonable input on wildlife conservation and themeans to regulate it. Who knows where it will be in 5yrs.

The Illinois DNR is a JOKE

I am very pleased with the DNR in Kentucky and the one buck limit, like Trevor. It seems to be working.

I agree but I would like to see them tweak the start of gun season back off of the second Saturday.This week was a week too early imo and would like to see it hit the middle of November every year.

They even allow crossbows to be used but there season starts a little later and they do an awesome job getting the youth involved.They are FREE untill they turn 12,then they are required to have an orange card and liscenses.


AND,from what I have seen and heard,it seems Ky does a better job with it's money than anyone.No tax dollars(unless donated) either,all their money comes from us,the hunters through our tags and liscenses.Atleast that is the way I understand it.

The DNR has done a great job here in KY...I would hate to see it go 2 buck. Deer would get over pressured even more than they are now. However, I would like to see 2 weeks maximum on rifle season. Too many peopel get trigger happy around here and go John Wayne on everything.

I have passed a few bucks, because I know there are bigger bucks in the area. With that said, the ones that I passed up are hopefully going to larger next year....but, I am kinda of regretting passing one up.

The DNR has been good about the CWD as well.

RE: DNR
 

It is 2 weeks,just 3 weekends,unless you are counting the free youth weekend and the youth only weekend along with muzzleloader week and early weekend.Yeah,maybe a little too much for firarm season[8D] BUT we get 4 1/2 months.:D

RE: DNR
 

LOL exactly. There are alot of youth seasons, plus. ML seasons only eqaute to 1-2 weeks and they fall in Oct and Dec, not peak month. crossbow hunters get alot of time now too, almost all of Oct, and alot of Nov and Dec.

I agree, I would like to see gun season fall a week or two later...but gun hunters sure wouldn't, which is what I was saying about keeping them happy as well as bowhunters happy.

I find it crazy that I can hit the woods any day between Sept 62008 and Jan 18 2009 and bowhunt for deer, too cool!:D
