We get feedback from both sides. I take it all. Everything that comes in is taken into consideration, and personnel has changed a lot on BW in the last few years. It has had a lot if turnover. I don't plan on going anywhere. I want to make the place as good as it's potential allows. What exactly are the problems you see with Warrior? Other than saying quit changing everything, you were not specific.
Matt, I really don't have the time to get into details at the moment but there is a lot of things that I don't get. A few things that come to mind are; no youth hunt, inconsistent antler restrictions between zones, inconsistent hunt dates and length from year to year, sometimes you need a permit from the check station, sometimes you don't, etc, etc.
I will have to set down and look at several years of permits and get my head wrapped around it all. Maybe I'll just get with you in person sometime? I don't want you to think I am just picking on you or Black Warrior on here but if you add all the constant changes to state regs along with the changes to black warrior every year it can make a man wonder whether or not he remembers everything and is hunting legally each time he goes on a hunt.
I would like to add though, I do like some of the changes that have been made recently like the opposite zone of a gun hunt being open to archery and small game. It gives people who don't want to fight the crowd more opportunity to hunt.
On a side note...I saw Ron Eaks write about 10 asian guys from Huntsville tickets for squirrel hunting on zone A when there was a gun hunt on B. I think they had 42 squirrels or something like that, poor guys was probably just trying to keep they're Chinese restaurant a float...."Tree Rat on A Stick"
- "It states three times on that permit that Zone A hunts are map/permits, Zone B hunts are daily permits"... Nowhere on the map does it use that sentence or anything similar three times. I just read the whole thing, again. The map permit informs you twice on the front(away from the rest of the regs) that the map is to be used for deer hunts of less than 4 consecutive days. It words it differently both times on the front yet the hunt dates are all garbelled together with a bunch of other notes and astericks on the back.
