just a few years ago yall bitch about not hunting the rut , they extended the season now yall bitch about it being to long . yall bitch about corn not being legal so they changed it now yall bitch that ever body with a acre of land is baiting . yall was fine with the game check that really does nothing but count dead deer but now you want tags that will do the same thing but cost each hunter more .
tell you what go by the deer processer near you and just ask ,,,, you getting in any good deer in ? when he say yeah ,,,,, think about it . maybe just maybe you need to learn how to hunt .
Big fat no to everything you just said. I fought for no extension in areas where current season framework allowed hunting the rut, was not in favor of bait, was not in favor of how GC was rolled out or how it’s being used, and you can’t kill what don’t exist. Me personally, don’t have a problem killing mature bucks, but there’s a lot of ppl who are having trouble for no reason other than over harvest of middle aged deer. Add the threat of CWD to the mix and the days of having older deer to hunt are done if nothing changes.
Now, you visit a taxidermist in your area and you’ll see a pile of decent deer in the 3-4 age class, but the 5+ yo bucks are not nearly as common as they were when harvest was random.
