I wonder what the criteria is for success on this one? Kind of like the OBR .... change several things during the course of a trial and it makes it impossible to know for sure what had an impact and what didnt.
I think the kill numbers will increase with these changes ..... but I also think kill numbers would have continued to increase if things were left as-is.

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. Not sure about the "true colors...' You have to understand that people are highly whizzed at what transpired, how this all came about and the resulting proposals that will limit their own hunting. They are also whizzed a that the IDNR and NRC puts a lot more credence in what certain groups want than the majority of deer hunters in Indiana might want. They are venting and I am not sure that all will follow through on what they say..

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. Excellent point, and maybe look at doing away with the fall season and going back to the noon stopping point. Now that should take care of things.

replace the word "poach" with target. Two very different words, right?

Not to worry, with the increased revenue coming, the most balley hooed Telecheck will take care of all those Big Buck problems that seem to be so relevant. With EAB in the urban areas, just have a tag, call it in, and then go for your 15 minutes of fame.

Do you think maybe the IDNR has a "Plan B" if the two day October antlerless hunt gets rained out?
I recall a few years back when we had torrential rains all opening weekend and the harvest was off a pretty large percentage. Of course then we had another 14 days to make it up and did. There is no make up on a 2 day hunt.

Since no one comes out and looks at a doe when a hunter checks one in all a dishonest hunter has to do is go into a check station and say he has a doe. Fill out the paper work and they are good to go. It doesn't take TeleCheck to slip that one past.. Prediction - Opening day of the UDZs will see a huge record of does taken....at least on paper.

Thanks, I just let them know that this proposal has my full support! It truly looks like the best thing to ever happen to Indiana deer hunting. I say this as a shotgun hunter, a muzzleloader hunter, a rifle hunter, and a bow hunter, but more than all of that, a DEER HUNTER.

They cancelled bingo night at the retirement home and grandma didn't take it this hard. BTW... did I miss the "poach button bucks" post? 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. Sorry Woody this sounded like a threat of poaching to me but maybe I'm wrong. I know There will be some futile attempt to defend it but thats what it looked like. I also realize people are peeved but my god, some of the things that have been throwed out there are kinda childish. Gun season isn't really shorter if you add the new season dates is it?
