Steve, a few days back I started a thread that simply asked for a biological reason as to why the season should be extended. After several pages of responses, would you care to guess at how many answers I got to my question? ZERO!!! It's kind of like talking to children while they are drooling at the window of the candy store. You can tell them the candy could rot their teeth out down the road but all they care about is the satisfaction of the here and now. They want what tastes good to them now, not what's healthy.
hunting all phases of the rut has not hurt the deer herd in areas of alabama with a december rut - this was the case even before the 3 buck limit - why would an extended, shorter deer season that includes all phases of the rut have an adverse biological effect 10 miles away? i have yet to see a legitimate biological reason we shouldn't do it
