It took a generation of hunters to get us where we are today, "a declining deer herd". It will take that long again to educate what MANAGEMENT is. As IDNR stated before, "We built the herd once we can do it again.".

I won't enter the argument, I and the IDHA are on public record that this is where we were headed, and now we have arrived. Crossbow,PCR, HPR, longer seasons, remember how these were all to retain and grow hunter numbers? How has that worked..... decline in hunter numbers continue while effective range in all seasons increased as well as hunting seasons length.

The lie has been exposed, now you get to reap what you have sown.
