It seems like the consensus of the majority of folks is that gun season is too long......I'm not saying everyone feels that way but from reading comments I would say there's a heft majority that do.....

If we were going to shorten gun season next year (let's assume that you will still be able to bow hunt these days)......How short of a gun season would you be ok going to?.........Two weeks?........A month?........?????

My view on hunting season length is same as my view on guns. I’m not prepared to give up chit.

CNC, as much as I hate to say it, you just gotta give it up. Aint gonna happen. That would affect lease prices, license revenue, state budgets, tax revenue, tourism and big $$$ for the state. You've got to come to the realization that it has now become way more about the managing/maximizing the $$$ than it is about managing the wildlife.

Why complain about the length. If you want to bow hunt more feel free. Heck why not do away with bow

It’s not really a matter of whether you are or you are not willing to give up something……If things need to be adjusted to protect the resource then changes will made……. Deer management (outside of people management) is really just a matter of math at the end of the day ……..At one time people killed deer when and however they wanted to and I’m sure there was somebody then saying “I ain’t giving up chit!” too…..But they did give it up and it was by their own hands they did it too……They gave it up when there wasn’t any left. I’m really not sure why we have this argument on the premise of if this is really a question……Just look at our history of deer management and it will show you that we will set dates and do whatever is necessary to protect and insure the resource remains vibrant……Look back on what season dates used to be and have been before. Things will change again to adjust for a framework that is too liberal for our changing landscape among other things…..The question in the end when the dust settles will be how do you want to go about changing it?

Still though no one has answered the original question……..Plenty of people say that gun season is too long……If it is determined in the future that we must make some adjustments to how we are managing the herd……How long would be an acceptable length gun season for you assuming we still got to bow hunt Oct 15 – Feb 10 like it is now? If you’re answer is “I would only accept a 3 ½ month long gun season”…..then answer with that.

I would love for bow season to last until December 31st and then gun season just for the month of January. That’s my view on it.

Yep.

It is so hard to understand that if you don't feel comfortable with something, you simply shouldn't do it. The law does not dictate that you must hunt until February 10.

I'd be fine with only 2-3 weeks of gun season AND outlawing bait and those stupid crossbows

Why worry about the length if you think it is too long? Just use what you need and be happy knowing you have more than you needed. Next thing you know you will be complaining about how short it is and how you need more length. popcorn

If the goal is to keep pressure to a minimum and increase the overall herd numbers, as I believe several have given as reasons for wanting a shorter season, less gun days, split seasons etc., why not just insist that the state go back to a physical tag system and a limit of one (1) deer per season? The Hunter can choose wether to hang their tag on a doe or a 250” six year old. And let them have October to March to do it.

. Not to use foul language, but I agree with AC870, why are you people trying to cut into gun season, why not shorten bow season and do away with crossbows? If you don't have enough deer on your property, manage it better, don't go insisting that I have to abide by you. If you want more deer work for it, don't legislate me.

Some of you are trying to give the people a reason to legislate our seasons even more. What do you want, just a bunch of safe queen guns you can brag about? I would rather brag about being able to use it, and not shooting at paper or a metal stand.

We have been on a two buck limit on our property for 10 years and my neighbor to the south has gone to the same plan. We just need to kill more DOEs.
