Same bunch of people gonna whine about "regulations" and limits claiming it will discourage hunters and "kids", etc.
What a dam joke.
What's discouraging is some pack of assholes shooting everything they see and you never having anything decent to shoot. How many are discouraged by that?
The good news for me is I can afford enough corn to keep most of the deer on the opposite side of the property alive.
I've hunted this place 30 years. I know exactly what it was like before we went to the brown is down deer management model. EXACTLY. Several 140 inch deer on the wall at the camp house to look at and talk about the "good-ole-days". Use to have 3-4 per season. Now 1. Maybe. And I've killed it several years but it's tough and you no longer shoot anything. We had to stop shooting any deer on this place to keep what we've got and has cut at least my hunting down to 1/2 or 1/3 of the property.
We're still getting it done but that's only because I'm better than average and figure out long ago the places the deer will travel every year in and year out. I'm hunting those sort of places you can leave and come back 30 years from now and the deer will still be going the same place.
There's a third option you aren't thinking of. The people who realize it not gonna change. See what you have on these threads is the same thing you have in pretty much everything in our society. You have two side to this. The idiots, who think they're way better hunters than everyone else.( how you tell they're full of chit, is they say stuff like, I'm better than average) they want everyone to think they can kill a deer with a rock and a slingshot. Therefore they want the laws to be so strict that no one is capable of killing a deer but them. They know it won't happen so they think spewing that nonsense makes them look like good hunters. The other side is the imbeciles that want to shoot everything they can. They're not really afraid the neighbors are going to kill one, they're afraid they are not going to get to shoot all of them. You can easily spot these retards because they say stuff like I have to feed my family, or I have the right too.... the truth of the matter is most people fall in the middle. They just want a decent place to hunt, with a decent chance to see and kill a deer.
