YOU may say that........at least 99% of archery hunters would hemorrhage from every orifice if it was a possibility.I could make that work...

Some of you guys are naive on the complexities of managing a deer herd. Biologists (hopefully) have a herd size they are comfortable with that will give everyone a chance to be happy. People want different things for different reasons. Some people want to kill a doe, some people trophies, some people only want to archery hunt, and some people don’t want deer (insurance companies and farm bureau) at all.

And there are ways to provide oppurtunity for guys who want to fill a tag with any deer while keeping age class and buck to doe ratios in check, for guys who want antlers. Nobody ever wants to give an inch on what they want or how they think it should be. Thats the problem.

I know what the hunting community needs - more obsession with score, age, and antler size. That will SURE keep the hunting heritage around - i think every study ever has concluded its only acceptable to the general non hunting public if we "pass" animals we think are too unideal for antlers. Besides - if the deer can stay put during the season then the plebs next door (esp on public) have no chance at killing one and can better comidify and sell the access.
The silver bullet to all of huntings problems (you know, the big issues, like the deer i see arent big enough) is ending the rut hunt.

Also I cant think of a worse idea. But im sure someone would love it as long as they don't lose there rut hunting. Dont get me wrong do I bowhunt during the rut? Absolutely. Would I be upset if we couldn't hunt it? Not necessarily.
