Parke, I don't think you are in the minority of wanting bigger bucks and more deer. The problem becomes how to get there. I think, at least for now, it seems to appear that shortening and/or moving the gun season isn't acceptable to the gun hunters at large. Even taking a mature buck with a bow during the rut is probably easier then taking one outside the rut with a bow. So from an easy standpoint and vulnerability standpoint, would you shut the rut to all weapons? Just curious.
