One season. Kill them how you like. November 05 - jan 31.

Fixed it.

🐎 💩

What an abortion this chit is 🙈 🤣🤣🤣

Just because people making good money run lease prices up dont mean everybody has a place to hunt. How many of yall have taken a kid that didnt have a place to hunt or even an adult.I come into contact with a lot of people that aint as lucky as some of us here are.I quit fishing bass tournaments because of the attitude of some people.I have been guilty of worrying about letting somebody hunt and them killing a certain big deer but we elevate them to much sometimes.Back in the 80s i had a friend that hunted my place with me he returned the favor by taking me on a place him and a couple of his relatives had all was fine till i killed a big one and everybody got mad and i did not get to go back.I hunt like i want to as long ad it is legal i just think we need to be thankful for the resources the Lord has given us and quit worrying about what anybody hunts with or what they kill along as it is legal.

What slays me about this conversation is how many people will say that its absurd to even talk about shortening our gun season and then proceed to drive 8-12 hrs to hunt another state with those very regulations.....(See current Illinois thread)........But oh no....not here.

Yup

I'd do it like this

Oct 1 - Feb 10- archery allowed

Allow 2 weeks of gun season in each of Nov, Dec, and Jan for a total of 6 weeks rifle season.

My theory is that people would be more successful bow hunting if pressure was kept down in general. Y'all see the way those deer act in those states with only a week or two gun season? I honestly believe the deer around here would adjust pretty quick and be more likely to walk out in daytime if they weren't being chased with a rifle every day of their life for 3 months.

Full disclosure I don't know chit about chit, just my opinion

no cnc

Some valid points, a lot of people do shoot a lot of does, it is just ..... I'm with you, I like a long season on them so I can pick and choose what doe(s) I want to take out, why take out a small yearling doe when there are old does that are turning grey. I just don't want us hunters to get into the legislate each other so we can have it to hunt the "preferred" way. The bow hunters want to legislate the gun hunters, the gun hunters want more freedom into February in the southern part of the state, the northern part wants it closed in early January because they are tired of hunting, and the rut is over so why hunt. You want to see what happens when there is no government regulation, go back and look at pictures of the buffalo, the vast swaths of ducks killed, etc. We all don't want that!!!!! The problem is we have to stay together, look at what happened to the hunters that enjoyed running deer with dogs, they are almost extinct compared to the 50's - 80's. It is only taken about 20 something years to phase them out. Now, bow hunters are trying to phase out the gun hunters. You people might as well be on the Biden/Harris/Democratic chain smoking pipe!

I thought you were all far long.....Feb. seasons and season couldn't be too long. Damn, I have trouble keeping up with you.

I agree with you there…..apparently you’re not the only one…….One more time.

Season runs Oct 1 – Feb 10……..add a 2-3 week gun season in there where it pleases folks....,take away all of the excess rules of the last decade.... and that’s the basis for what I’m in favor of

Fuggg ,no.

Well....enjoy your 2 buck limit that's coming.......I'm out.

out? we can only hope....

All ya'll that are advocating for it to be full and open season know good and dang well deep down inside that in 5 years won't none of us have deer to hunt. Ya'll want to bring kids into the mix but what deer what the kids have to hunt? I've seen people type on this very website about NEEDING to kill 15 deer a year to feed their family.... WTH? Do they only cut the backstraps and hams off or do they have 20 kids?

If anything all this post and the other post has done is show EXACTLY why there has to be state government running the show..... we can't even get two hunters to agree on what needs to be done. Much less the general public.

As always with hunters its EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!!! WOOOOOWEEEEEE BOYS KILLL EM ALLLL!!!!!

Alot of this is starting to sound like a Facebook comments section. Been noticing that the past couple of weeks. The reason I've always enjoyed this forum was because there was alot more rational, educated talk here than Facebook at large..... Please reel it back in guys don't let this forum dissolve into a cesspool of dumb assery

I am out to the trophy hunting rich man is the only one that’s opinion matters

when you read thru these replys , have thought about the WMA's, some military posts you have a quota, just say its 90 deer, when reached hunting is over,done . pvt land is diff.
to me,lot of ways to look how long or how short a season, a thought.

Just out of this thread , he's prolly busy typing up a new thread right now.
