Agreed on the politicians but as a whole, we need to educate the new and young hunters. We did it on the overkill in the antlerless seasons...should work on the young bucks also. We are the ones ultimately pulling the trigger. On a positive note...these consistent rains this year sure do help...

Too many new bowhunters buying 20-80 acre pieces, many from cut up larger farms, all equipped with a kill box(food plot)is a large part of the problem. All you need to kill a deer is a 5 acre field and a food plot with a blind. Food plots are biting us in the arse much like baiting. Throw up a...

I'm not sure what's worse, a pack of dogs running your property or a pack of coyotes chasing your deer in January and eating your fawns in the spring but it definitely needs to be the landowners choice.

It's no different than hiding behind a turkey fan or decoy but I'm at my saturation point with the gadgetry.

Was wondering that also...will they mix all of that in at the coop?

I have to say...all of these undecided lobbyist are concerning. Politics and incrementalism is a big chess game, they should always be for or against or they're not giving it enough thought.

Not for the residents. I could see them trying to get a $1500 floating tag for non resident LO's. Then all hell would break loose.

I'd be all for this but I'd guess there would way more push back on this than what you'd think. The focus should be damage control and stopping it where it's at.

They take your money through taxes and give you back what they think is best!

I'm thinking this is one of those things you want to die a slow death. I don't think you want to encourage this to advance in any way. This was their choice to lose the revenue and our mistake to let it happen so easily. Our energy and efforts need to be placed on next years session.

I agree 100% when talking about the new floating LO tag but newfarmer's concern was that it would morph into all tags and that would be a much greater revenue loss. I suppose that could be debatable if you had the bucks and you are dead set on filling all your available tags. That is such a...

My main concern would be health reasons for himself or someone close to him but whatever the reason, it was his wishes to keep that to himself and I respect that.

I probably didn't realize it at the time but he definitely was the goat. He seemed to thrive on it. I'd guess that is a time consuming and thankless job.

Introduced January 9th passed House 2/29 passed Senate 3/19 WE HAVE TO GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER BOYS! We barely had time to fend off the Forest Reserve attack!

Food plots?? Heated blinds...can you imagine the age structure we could all enjoy if they made it illegal to hunt bucks over corn or brassicas in heated blinds during late season?? You damn well better save your floating tag for this! Look, I'm not fond of this law either and no idea how it...
