In our state, hunting season is supposed to be open by default. If a biological reason is determined to exist that would endanger the perpetuation of the species, then closing the season is authorized. That's what our law says:


9-2-7-(7)
Quote:
To close the season of any species of game in any county or area when, upon a survey by the department, it is found necessary to the conservation and perpetuation of such species and to reopen such closed season when it is deemed advisable.


We aren't required to come up with some biological excuse to hunt. Hunting is our God-given right. As long as we hunt within reasonable limits that are necessary to sustain the species, we are within our rights. It's wildlife we are hunting. If you choose animal husbandry, that's your choice. It is not the state's responsibility to implement wildlife husbandry for you.
