So the question becomes will it? Is there data to support that shortening the season and lowering the limit will ensure your kids get to hunt?
How about this : if we ban cars, we can ensure no one will get hit by a car again. Willing to do your part?
If we ban deer hunting we can ensure your kids will get to see deer 10-20 years from now. Want to do your part?
I have the same data to make those arguments as the department does for shorter seasons and lower limits
