In 2009, the firearms and muzzleloader seasons accounted for 77% of the total deer harvest.
In 2014, the firearms, muzzleloader AND the late antlerless season accounted for 69% of the total harvest.
So even including the late season, the firearms harvest accounts for 8% less of the total harvest when compared to 2009.
Seems all this "panic" so many of them (1.0 guys) are pushing now is nothing more than another attempt to convince hunters that the gun and muzzleloader seasons should be shortened/moved. This time to "save" the herd from the evil DNR....and Woody.
That's all they want again it appears ......
SOooooo......How long did it take for jjas and Woody to send you this ^^^^ response that you copied and pasted up for them....
LOL!!!!!
Some things are just so transparent.
Oh my goodness Brew....... the situations you get yourself into. LOL!!!!!
And to correct your "false spin" again...... we aren't trying to save anyone from the "evil DNR". We are just making others aware of what the DNR wanted as their FIRST CHOICE.
That EXACT complaint was cited by DNR Brass in a Senators office after 1.0 was forced off the table.
So.........Brew......... who are we labeling as evil???
.....we are simply now NAMING those that forced them to not be able to do what they (IDNR) wanted....... forced a more AGGRESSIVE approach.......and now has this state in a large messy tail spin.......AND STILL WORRIED THEIR 30+ DAY GUN SEASON SO THEY CAN JUST HUNT BUCKS WILL BE SHORTENED in the very near future!!
Tell ya what.......... Brew, jjas, Woody.... post up your Doe picks over the last 3 years. I'd like to see YOUR contribution to reducing the herd that you were so positively for. You got the Crossbows you wanted to do that with.....you got a season for any weapon you wanted to kill Antlerless..........let's see you posing with your contribution to what you wanted.
Make sure you post doe pics that will match up with check in records too.......wouldn't want you to go through any "trouble" explaining doe pics from WAAY back.... with no current check in records.
Let us see what your contribution to what you "say" you wanted was.........or did you little devils just buck hunt with all those "gun days" and THREE new months of Crossbow you knew you were just going to use to buck hunt only.....and don't want anyone to know that..
Let's see those Antlerless pics over the last 3 years Brew, jjas and Woody. Make us proud..... (cough)
