What if you plant them in your food plot, dig them up, and place them in a pile in the food plot?

Thanks. I figured it was just the same as a traffic violation.

When you take a diversion you have to pay some sort of fine. If there are no other charges then there is nothing on your record. This is the way it works with a speeding ticket anyway.

The only way to increase the harvest if it is neccessary is to increase the number of hunters. If we want to increase the number of hunters we have to increase opportunities. This means making crossbows legal for at least part of the early season, maybe add an early antlerless only muzzleloader season, earn a second buck where in order to earn the second buck you have to kill at least four does, make license cheaper, bring back the lifetime license.

Hunting the corn that spills after a harvest would be OK.
The only problem I see is the vagueness of hunting with the aid of bait. If the bait is in sight then it is easy. My only question is where the line is drawn. How do know if the bait aided the hunter. I have read studies that say deer will not increase their core area to go to a bait pile. Using this information I see that bait will not bring deer to you that weren’t already there. Also if there is a corn pile next to another food or water source, or just a natural travel route isn’t it just as likely that the deer came there for another reason? It seems like it could be cleared up by saying if you are within a set limit of a bait site you are not legal. I think this is one thing that would make hunters feel better because a lot of us feed deer in the off season and give them minerals. This helps us get pictures and to help the deer come out of the breeding season in better shape. I don’t think we want to break the law and hunt deer illegally we just want to manage our deer the best we can.

Some times we give deer a higher place than they deserve. They are a resource that has to be managed. If we as hunters are not willing to take those extra deer then the state will take that job out of our hands and hire someone else who will. There is now proposed legislation to raise the bag limits to help reduce the deer herd. Killing 5, 6, 7 or more does is someone doing their job. If you live in an area where the deer a scarce don’t shoot extra does but if you want a healthy herd with better bucks and better habitat you have to reduce the number of deer on the land.

I would think this may be a good deal for those people that don't like the OBR. I doubt anyone is going to kill anymore deer than they normally do but they may like to take a second buck.

All of the .35 or bigger seem to fall into the mid range rifles that are also excellent deer cartridges. This would clear up any confusion in the regulations now with the cartridge dimensions.

Would this mean two bucks in those counties?

I sent my comments to the DNR that they should allow all cartridges .35 or larger. I don't think there are any of those cartridges that are considered long range. This would make it much easier for everyone to stay legal and it would allow several great deer cartridges.

Would anyone care if people were paying $10, 000 to a local farmer to shoot a cow in a feed lot?
I don't think a lot of the hunting operations are really hunting. By the same argument most guided hunts would not be hunting either though. They are fair chase but when you arrive in camp the owner will probably show you pictures of deer they have and what would be acceptable to shoot. Then they will take you to a pre-hung stand overlooking a bait pile or food plot there really is no difference if you aren’t the one who planted it. Then as the owner has said the one of the bucks you are looking for shows up in the field. You did no hunting in that situation. You sat in a tree and shot a deer. I have no problem with anyone doing that just don’t try to tell me you are hunting. Someone else did all of the hunting for you.

I am still surprised at how many of have a problem with Obama because he wants to regulate business and take away certain rights. Then in the next breath you say that they should shut down a business because you don’t like it. The greatest thing about this country is the free market system. Anyone can have an idea and create their own business. If there is a demand they will make money, increase local jobs, and bring money into other local businesses. I do not think this is hunting but if someone wants to pay thousands of dollars to shoot a deer on my neighbor’s property I say good fro him to create a market for something that has very little monetary value.

There are some huge deer and lots of turkeys at Fort Knox.

I sent three suggestions. The first was to allow crossbows for seniors, youth, and women. The second is to allow allrifles that are .35 or bigger. The third is to allow the possibllity to earn a second buck in the counties that have a bonus number of four or more. The hunter could earn a county specific buck tag if they are able to harvest four antlerless deer.

There are a lot of deer in both Harrison and Crawford counties. I would say you could go out just about anywhere and see some deer. Just look for the usual spots on a topo map if you can get one.

What about when they harvest th ehundred acre field of corn and they spill a couple hundred pounds next to the woods when they are loading the semi? I think this would be OK.

I think they should allow crossbows for youth, women, and seniors during the regular archery season.
