Everyone is worried about the herd I get that. What chaps my azz is when people start talking about shortening & moving the firearms season out of the rut. By the way the peak of the rut is usually over by the time gun season starts anyway. If each hunter was allowed only one deer a year regardless of equipment I would think that would have a bigger impact on the herd then shortening seasons and limiting bonus tags. You wouldn't have hunters taking 2 or more deer which is what most people complain about on this forum. For myself & a lot of the guys i know who hunt in November trying to balance work and family and the weather during that 16 days of firearms is always a challenge every year.
