"The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources(DNR) plans to ask its board later this month to prohibit hunters from killing antlerless deer in 13 counties in an effort to regrow the herd."
Hate to say it too, but this is common sense and a no-brainer. The buck only counties last year should remain as such this year until the historically low deer herd in the north can rebound.
This is good news but 100% expected and anything short of this common sense move would cause an uprising in the north. What is needed out of this is not allowing anyone (i.e youths) to use an anterless tag in those areas.
I also agree that there should be no anlterless tags to be used in any of these zones.
The scorn should be put upon the lawmakers allowing antlerless tags to be used in these zones.
Who are we to judge the hunter when given the opportunity to harvest an antlerless deer. The government allows this. These deer are harvested by legal means. No law was broken if a legally obtained tag was used.
The failure of allowing antlerless tags to be issued falls squarely on the DNR, elected officials and the NRB board.
I will not fault a fellow hunter who legally follows the law.
Who am I to judge??
Morals are a funny thing. They are pushed by many, yet few understand the true meaning......
As always, many thousands of bonus tags will not be sold in farm country. Without EAB, the herds in the central farmland will soon be over the top, good for those who like seeing a pile of deer but not the best if you want to see the highest quality whitetails an area can produce. There will also be further year-round habitat erosion in many areas, something that can come back to bite you in the future.
