I will. Not sure I will want to .... but I will be able to. They want us to hunt it so they canb say "see this all worked out ok" The best medicine would be to forgo all the special antlerless seasons and just hunt the standard seasons back off the doe herd for a couple of years and watch em cray foul the third year and ask us "What we want to do for deer seaon" but we will have to stay strong pass them does and make a mockery of the new laws that will speak louder than any voice! Please, I see where some are upset but the majority of casual deer hunters don't have the will power to pass does. Let me guess, this will be just like when gas went up so everyone was supposed to skip getting gas for a day, that worked well didn't it? Come November everyone will be sitting in their stands and doing what they have always done. Money says most will be in the woods with their boomsticks during the 2 day season forgetting what they posted on here in July. Ok, lets make a deal, for everyone who has bashed this thing and swore to boycott it no does will be entered or counted for you in the Hunting Indiana deer contest this season. If your a Deer Hunter you will be hunting.

If your a Deer Hunter you will be hunting. Sure the casual hunters do pass up does in fact they pass up every doe .The fact is in gun season the majority of hunters are carring a buck tag only .Perhaps Woody has the link or technical info on this fact its in print somewhere! ;D Oh and I promis if this passes a nd goes into effect this year I will not shoot a single doe and neither will the majority of hunters I know and hunt with . I do not play the online deer killing games or whatever they are anyways.

I guess I will travel a few southern indiana counties and shoot some extra does this year. I have a few buddies who will help as well ..... just need to find a reliable food bank to donate the processed deer to.
Should be able to do Gibson, Knox, Pike, Sullivan and Spencer counties.
I will need to talk to the fellas I know up north and see if they will do the same.

I do not play the online deer killing games or whatever they are anyways. We shall see my friend, too many trigger happy sluggers out there. They won't pass does to prove a point, same ones who rally for longer seasons and 2 bucks obviously want to kill deer plain and simple. I promise you for every doe you pass someone else in the orange army will be stacking them up. I thought some positives came out of the proposals but it's funny nobody has mentioned them. I guess the same guys who call me greedy may need to take a look in the mirror. Look at how great the youth changes might be if pushed through. Seems to me if your a meat hunter as alot on here have claimed then why does it matter when you kill the does? Heck they are even going to allow the orange army into Oct. they been chomping at the bit for years to break off a piece of that pie. If you don't want to shoot a bow or get cold, hang stands early and scout and want warm weather hunting for unharrassed deer well they just opened the door for you, congrats. As far as not shooting does, well I hunt for meat and depend on venison every year. I will bag my share with my Hoyt regardless of what rule I am not happy with. Opening morning I will be up way before dawn and tearing at the gate to get into my stand! You hear all the complaints but when you have had time to settle down some they seem kind of silly.

We shoot does as a public service but with the new rules I feel disrespected and will no longer allow does to be shot on my property. We normally take 15+ deer between the 3 of us that hunt the property and now it will be 3.

Since the INDR is siding with the antler worshiping groups that idolizing the big buck and want to pass rules to protect them i will kill an antlered buck and then target button bucks for my bonus tags. All the does on my property will get a free walk from now on.
The rules they IDNR are proposing have special interest groups finger prints all over them and I for one will do my best to make their dreams of big bucks behind every tree fail. h.h.

That is an even better idea. We should try to find the top 5 guys that pushed this through and lease all the land around their honeyholes and wipe out the button bucks.

I can only speak for the farm that I hunt on in Jefferson County, and if I pass on does and practice antler worshiping, the owner will not be a happy camper because I will be contributing to crop loss, which hurts his check book. And with the shortened season proposal, less does will be taken, but having hunted in that area going on thirty years, I firmly believe the landowners will take care of the "reduction" in their own way. They have done it before when the DNR was slow in giving out doe permits, and are quite capable of doing it again. Coyotes tend to clean up the mess very quickly.

Ok I called the governors office and got transferred to Shelley? {spelling may not be correct} their liason to the DNR. She listened patiently to my complaints and said she would pass them along but also said I should to to www.in.gov/nrc/2377.htm and press other since it isn't listed yet and let them know in writing. 317-232-4567 Governor Daniels office number, ask for the DNR liason. Tell them your concerns and also go to that website and let them know in writing. Here is the NRC input page.....click on OTHERwww.in.gov/nrc/2386.htmMake your comments there. They will get them..

So,,,,if the gun hunter's season is cut in half,,,,,the tag is $12.00? I am of the opinion that the reason the Gun Season was cut is due to the fact that in most Indiana counties the Human Population is too high for safe hunting with firearms. Therefore some group has petitioned the INDR to shorten the firearm season. This is also the reason for Hunter Orange on ground blinds. The fact remains that the "People" Population of most Indiana Counties is too crowded & the areas to hunt are fast shrinking to developement, so the general poplulation (non-hunting) feel safer with bow hunting rather than firearm hunting. About the only places to hunt with a firearm, in Indiana, is on public lands or lands that are leased to a certain number of hunters. I could be wrong about this but this is how I view it.

While were at it let's shorten the turkey gun season also. I just read about a record harvest. Must be over poplulated and if we shorten the season we can kill more.

Wow, this thread has really showed some "deer hunters" true colors. Lets just all go poach some button bucks to show DNR who's boss. They cancelled bingo night at the retirement home and grandma didn't take it this hard.

According to the "Why we are doing this" from the IDNR they say - " The proposal calls for the shortening of the firearms and muzzleloader seasons, from 16 days in each season to 9 days. Biologists across the nation are coming to the conclusion that fewer hunting days may actually promote an increased harvest." Did you see the catch word? It is "may"? Wow! We are screwing up the entire deer hunting seasons on a "may". Whatever happened to proof positive that something works before stepping out on that limb? Ohio did a study some time back that showed an increased season showed only a 2% increase in kills. Now, I'm not the sharpest knife in th drawer, but would that work the other way around too? If they shortened the season there would be a 2% DECREASE in harvest numbers? Maybe this is the new math?
