OK, my time to gripe even if it is a litte late in the thread...
I've hunted a few of the OM hunts in the past. My biggest gripe with the old system was that with 80 hunters, plus alternates, and there was never that many people that showed up. There was a mandatory meeting the first morning of each hunt. Never had 80 there when I was present. And, by the afternoon of the second day, once everybody saw there wasn't a 10 point behind every tree, the woods were practically empty. Heck, if you were drawn at least have the decency to show up and hunt.
Look, there will be rules to every State Park hunt ever held in this State. Learn the rules, apply if you want to hunt, else get on a website and complain.
I can't believe they are counting these bucks in our three per year limit, not letting me use a laser sight, making me use a safety belt, not letting me use corn, not allowing me to use my super duper remotely triggered crossbow, not letting me use poison pods, not letting me just club them with a 7 iron. Geez, what limitations will they think of next?
Regarding the money, the daily guest fee at my hunting club is more than $10.
