Well, if we had grizzles, not sure that they would agree on who is at the top of the food chain. I think we have way too many laws, many which are just plain moronic. However, before hunting laws, whitetails were all but wiped out. Our local DNR folks are practical and reasonable. Getting a deprevation permit is not a hassle and keeps yahoos from shooting everything that moves. I enjoy deer hunting, and appreciate the possibility of bagging a trophy. I am not sure that I like the new one-buck rule. I used to have the opportunity of one bow and one gun buck, but the one buck that I have taken in each of the past five years are each bigger than any that I took previously. This may not all be the one-buck rule, but if everyone followed the laws, I am confident that more large bucks would be walking around. The local hacks that take one for themselves and then get a licence for their wives so they can take another one are simply greedy. The liberal doe limits rule out the defence that they need the meat. Venison is one of the most expensive meats one can eat. I wish we had a season on poachers!
