February deer season would definately mess up small game season for a lot of people. I won't sugar coat it or beat around the bush abour it, I don't like it for this reason either. I've stated this many times. It would be no different than deer season running into turkey season. The difference is the turkey hunters have an organization with lots of backing to let their voices be heard in opposition if that happened. Why should other small game hunters be treated any differently because of their lack of funding or a nation wide organization?
