I grew up dog hunting.killed my first 56 deer in front of a dog absolutly loved it. it was a real challenge to kill one in front of a dog. burnt a lot of shells. the club lost land got down to 3000 acres and they voted out dog hunting so there i was with a rifle.i killed 17 deer with a rifle and the last few just absolutely bored me to death. shot gun was way more challenging so I quit rifle hunting it just didn't do it for me.the bow made it a challenge again.

the only person who has got where I've been coming from is mbrock in that what is best for the resource.

do we really need a 3 month rifle season with the explosion of hunter numbers?


What difference does it make if I hunt for 3 months with a rifle and only kill 1 buck, that is usually my limit, the 2nd will be an upgrade from 1st. Only killed 1 doe in the last 15 years of hunting. I truly believe that people are going to kill what they want to kill whether it be in 3 months or 3 weeks that number not gonna change, what will change will be quality of deer killed.



you are ONE person so you as an individual are not hurting a thing, but as a collective of thousands upon thousands of hunters is making a difference. With all the technology we have today deer are easier to kill. so there has be guardrails put in place somewhere and the 3 month rifle season is where I believe we need to start..is it a detriment to the resource
