Uh Bryan my argument is that taking gun season out of the rut would make it more difficult to kill a mature buck. So, even if i was the only person hunting i may not even kill a mature buck because it has become harder due to the gun season being taken out of the rut. add in 10 guys to each tract. i seriously doubt that the guys hunting the tract with a gun season in december will harvest as many bucks as the guys who hunt during the rut.
John, yes "better" and "positive impact" to me means more mature bucks and more deer. i understand that my opinion of "quality hunting" may differ than some. However, i seriously doubt that im in the minority.
