Generally speaking, I don't think it's an HPR crowd issue because I'm not sure anyone (all who visit this site exempt from my point of course), regardless of weapon used are really willing to sacrifice "their" preference. I could be wrong though.

Isn't that why there are BAG LIMITS set??? To "CONSERVE" the resource!!! [/b]
Absolutely. The point there may be though that the bag limits are a DNR initiative. While I don't really know whether an unlimited bag limit would significantly increase the harvest, my guess is that there are a lot of hunters, possibly even a majority, that would openly support unlimited bag limits. I do believe wholeheartedly that the DNR is probably the only thing between mass destruction of the deer herd by hunters and landowners. Generally, I still don't think that a lot of deer hunters, maybe a majority, care about the rules or the ethics except to the only extent that they might get "caught".
