But, the one thing that very few people have mentioned is....the biological effects that a season change may cause.
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.
I would like to know your biological reason against it, or for QDM, or for being able to kill 100 plus deer in Alabama.
Let the science speak first. You act as if you KNOW it would be detrimental to the herd.
OK then. It's a fact that the deer herd in Alabama has a skewed ratio of bucks to does. So ask yourself, what's the reasoning behind the season extension? To hunt the rut of course? Why do people want to hunt the rut? To kill that buck chasing that doe. Now, there have been a few on here tell me it's not about killing that buck but the "experience". HOGWASH!!!!! If you believe that then you will believe Nancy Pelosi is a right wing, consevative, gun advocate and Skinny is the Tooth Fairy. Now, is killing more bucks beneficial to a herd that already has skewed sex ratios or is it detrimental?
Also, is that hunter that's waiting on that next Booner going to be more inclined to shoot that doe that needs to be taken out and possibly mess up his chance at old mossy horns he thinks is just out of site or is he going to let her walk? You know the answer. More bucks killed + less does killed = bad for the herd.
