I appreciated that approach, too. It was flexible, allowed for landowner-hunter decisions and freedom of choice, didn't put a "gotta get my three bucks!" mentality into anyone, and things balanced out between someone shooting 13 bucks and one buck a season.

Looking back, we did not have the unyielding amount of acrimony, bitching, disdain, unhappiness and desire for more restrictive changes than we have now, and have seen especially in the last 8-10 years.

That was back when deer hunting was fun.

Hunting was better back then, because the metrosexual, urbanite, subdivision dwellers played golf and looked down on us country boys as redneck, inbred "hunters".
Those were the good ol days before Jackie Bushman ruined deer hunting and Ray Scott ruined bass fishing.
