All deer hunters should meet in Indy and have a march to get our idea's in the news. Dave

Cool ... when do you want to do it?
Are all ideas welcome or should all of us sit down and decide what we can all agree on?
If we are going to figure out what all deer hunters agree on before hand I think our list might be pretty short. I can only think of a couple things that everyone might agree on.
1. We need a deer season
2. We need to be able to kill at least one antlered deer.
I bet you will get differing opinions on just about any other idea.

Not a bad idea......we did this in Kentucky once, it was called an orange day. Several hundred guys and gals and 3 or 4 dogs walking through the legislative complex in orange shirts and hats drew a lot of response for the lawmakers. The bill at issue was one pretaining to game farming and did not pass because of the orange out. It will get attention and cause legislators to look at the proposals and how the stakeholders were chosen and could cause the process to change.

I asked Chad if deer reduction was truly what this is about and the DNR has to show the Legislature that they are doing something in that direction, why not have one year of anterless only? That would decrease the herd, get as close to the 60:40 ratio (or higher) they claim as a metric, show the legislature they are serious about doing something, give the antlered deer a "free" year to grow up, and make all deer hunters give an equal share to helping the DNR. It would also give the paid professionals the time they need to evaluate the issue, decide on the OBR, and force them to re-evaluate the county anterless quota. Might actually give them a much better look at what our herd truly is and has to offer. |

No one believes that all 275,000 hunters would be there, but a bunch would and it could get the interested lesislators asking for a redo. What works is for those in attendance to walk the halls and seek out their own lawmaker and talk with them about the process and how a lot of hunters where left out. |

You are right.
You did get my point though I'm sure.

Someone pick a date and I'll do all I can to be there.
Hey, If it is in Indy maybe we could have lunch on the Governers front lawn. He lives about a block from Butler.
