They are probably shooting their self in the foot if it’s really closed… folks will probably refrain from buying the bundle license now IMO !
But it doesn’t affect how I hunt anyway.

I saw where a certain group was bragging that they "need to keep pressure with the surveys, just look at the antlerless season this year".
First, it was always a tool designed for the DNR to change and/or turn on and off as necessary. Second, if people are lying on the public surveys just to try to manipulate how the state sets rules so they can mandate everyone else hunts, then the personal surveys need to be held with less weight.
I haven't gone looking yet, but what does the bonus antlerless map look like this year?

Hmmm... so what has changed? Maybe I've misunderstood what you mean, but the paragraph above is for 2020/21 while the paragraph you posted at the beginning of the thread is for 2021/22. I wonder when the entire 2021/22 guide will be posted online or in stores? |

Hmmm... so what has changed? When TY interviewed joe on the podcast joe said there was going to be a survey at season end to get the pulse of public wanting the antlerless season to stay or go! Maybe the general public has been heard …. |

So your saying the people that liked the antlerless season voted to end/close the season and manipulated the survey…. Really? 🤦♂️ Don’t get sucked into the spin that didn’t happen! BTW…. You’re right it’s “a tool designed for the DNR to change and/or turn on and off as necessary” …. Looks like they opted to close it (not eliminate )this year! The results should be interesting. |

From Moriah
I'm guessing there will be no 4 counties this year thus the closing?
In the "deer world 27% opposed" is not a large percentage. I've asked for the total breakdown.
jjas,
I was referring to what the DNR had said in the past about the season.

Maybe the black Helicopters will land now! Thanks for posting the email 👍 |

I asked Moriah about the results of the survey question on "the special antlerless season" and if there would be any 4 counties and his quick response was...

So majority in the survey was for or neutral. Good deal.

Hmmm, interesting... The deer season is still in though, just archery only at that point. As stated above my hunting will not change. If any of my family still needs deer by this point I'll just have a bow instead of a gun.

As far as I know there are no changes in the “deer reduction zone”’rule.
IIRC the DNR director has the power to change that at anytime. He can change dates and areas (increase or decrease) at will.

So the way I am reading their comments is that they are allowing the 27% that opposed the season be the determining factor and not the 42% that were in favor of the season or the 30% that were neutral? When does the smaller number equal the majority?
