The only way to get numbers back up like the good ole days imo is to decrease total bag limit, including does just for example 3 deer 1 buck 2 does for a five year period and a shortened season .Then re evauate GC and hopefully by then they will have GC figured out. But only 15-25% would abide by this. Just like the 30% that are abiding with GC now or are they. What if Chuck is not giving us the right numbers to actually cut the bag limit to 1 or 2 bucks a yr. Just something to think about.



You say only 15%-25% would comply with new limits. I totally agree but have no idea what the % would be. But why can he not see people are ignoring him on GC and at least that many will ignore a lower limit. He keeps throwing the threats of shortened season and lower limits out there. There is a reason hunters aren't raising hell about those threats. I say to him, put up or shut up. Reduce the season and lower the limits. Let's see what you got. Do it. Show us how much power you have. Until you follow through with the threats it's just words from a lame duck commissioner.
