Here's both the good news and the bad news. We are not going to have a choice, that decision is going to be made by the department and the CAB, with absolutely no regard or input whatsoever, from the landowners or residents. Input will be given and ignored, just like the input from the deer biologists like Matt Brock and Chris Cook. If they dont listen to them, what makes you think they give a crap what you think. And what will happen, the residents will be pissed and say I'm not giving up killing bucks, does or being limited to just two bucks a year, I used to kill 10 a year and everything was fine then so I'm going to just do what I want. Screw Chuck Sykes and the new regs, I'm going to continue to kill any buck I want and just wont check them after I kill my two and I wont be caught, because AL doesnt have even one GW per county statewide. Just like a whole bunch of residents have done since it went from 1 buck per day to only 3 per season. Pot meet kettle. The sooner you recognize it, the less stressed your life will be.
