They proved science didn't matter when they approved 10 extra days of deer season in the north zone for Will Ainsworth.
If the population could sustain the extra harvest that would occur without issue due to the extra ten days in Feb then there’s nothing wrong with them extending the season to offer more opportunities for hunters to get in the woods and hunt as well as keeping the overall regulations for the state as a whole more simplistic versus dicing us up more and more……”Hunter satisfaction” is a part of management too. The rut being over has nothing to do with it being sound or not as folks try to make it out….Folks like to use the phrase…”There’s no biological reason to hunt them in Feb!”…..As if there’s a “biological reason” for hunting during the rut…..or a “biological reason” for killing male deer period really….What’s the “biological reason” for that? I hate that phrase now because its just something someone said that sounded intelligent and catchy and stumped someone at the time probably so folks ran with it even if they didn’t have the first clue what they were saying.
Probably need to start a new thread for this discussion.
