Haven't we already done this?? '70's?



lol ,,,, hey whats wrong with seeing 25 does to 1 buck . . i set in macon county one day and saw about 75 cows come through a little later i saw 32 does come through the same trail all in a line like the cows . when we used to run dogs we had to run some places twice to get all the trash run off to get the bucks up . i remember the first few does days , damn what a slaughter it was .


Actually, I understand what they where doing: Building numbers from a decimated resource. But the lag time in correction seemed too long. But of course it always seems too long because I am an impatient person. While they are collecting data and analyzing it I want something done NOW!!




the state will always lag . the hunters know what changes are needed and they should make them and not wait on the state to figure out what they (the hunter) already know .

hell , changing minds is the hardest part . people get set in their ways after awhile . over all i think people are better now with changes than back then and they adjust faster.
before they put in the buck limit i was already seeing a lot of hunters getting picky about what they killed .
