Amazing how difficult it is to understand that the DNCR should only provide a MINIMAL framework to insure the wildlife resources flourish and that people play nice with each other and let the landowners manage their lands as lenient or as strict as they want withing the MINIMAL framework set forth by the DNCR.
We had that until about 10 or so years ago.
For a handful of years..... Before that it was a free for all on bucks with limitations on does. Now it's a free for all on does, with limitations on bucks. The current regs are likely the least limiting ever, except for those few years where it was a free for all on bucks and does.
