I'm curious, if it's just to get a bigger sample size for testing, what are the outcomes when they discover it's spread like flurona? And on the flip side, what happens if they only find a few?
Just like the other states, if it's here, nothing you can do to get rid of it from my understanding.
Last question, then I'll hang up and listen, promise. Are they allowing guns everyday for the rest of season on these WMAs or is it just removing the seasonal limits ie 3 buck limit, no doe on certain days etc?
I'm hoping it's an isolated pocket. I don't think the positive is from Waterloo. Reading the regulation it's the wild west; no daily limit, no season limit, no antler restriction, and blast away. Seven Mile doesn't allow gun at all so that's something I don't know for sure.
(b) There will be no seasonal or daily bag limit restrictions and no antler
restrictions for deer (antlered and unantlered) harvested on Lauderdale Wildlife
Management Area (WMA), Freedom Hills WMA, Riverton Community Hunting Area
(CHA), and Seven-Mile Island WMA through the remainder of the 2021-2022 deer
season. Stalk Hunting Hunter’s Choice (either sex), as listed in 220-2-.56, will be allowed
daily through February 10, 2022. These changes do not apply to any other WMA or
CHA.
(c) WMA hunters will be allowed to hunt deer the remaining days of the
2021-2022 state regular deer season using any legal arms and ammunition (220.-2-.55)
permitted during WMA deer hunts on Lauderdale WMA, Freedom Hills WMA, Riverton
CHA, and Seven-Mile Island WMA. Small game hunting shall be prohibited for the
remainder of the 2021-2022 deer season on the above listed WMAs and CHA. Daily
WMA and CHA check-in and check-out will continue to be required.
