I don’t know how you can talk about balancing anything with a 4 month free for all. WMA especially. People that travel to hunt are less likely to go home empty handed. Just something to think about.

I’ll also add that any percentages of hunter numbers you come up with are based on license sales, which is skewed because people that own their own land don’t have to have a license.

Most folks aren’t in favor of self limitation and require the state to do that for them. If you want to self limit your property, first try and control what your neighbors do.
