re: LDWF deer regulations changes ????

But where they are they are hammering fawns. It is death by a thousand cuts, hogs, bears, habit destruction, and yes even yotes. Studies are showing that due to the prolonged high concentration of yotes they are having to adapt their prey choices because of consistent lower numbers of rabbit and other small game. I've brought it up here, every year I get pictures of yotes with fawns in their mouths.

Personally I say start a bear season and poison the yotes but neither of that will happen so less deer tags it is.


The big question everyone should be asking is do you really believe the duck numbers they report?

No the total population one, you know, where they consistently spout " a new record duck population".

I personally think the duck population is a lot lower than they will admit.

Failed? We eradicated wolves, bears and yokes from half the country.


Is a shame the furs aren't worth more.

Stupid arse meat eater show has gotten me on the path of not hating predators and favoring a balanced ecosystem as much as possible. I hate the idea of poisoning anything that's going to be in the food chain.

IMO the main wildlife issue everywhere in the lower 48 is habitat loss and thats something you can't control. There will come a day when only the wealthy have leases or own hunting property and the normal folk are putting in for resident public land deer tags.

The problem with Steve's outlook is it "in a perfect world scenario". That ship sailed when pilgrims hit Plymouth.

The fact is outdoorsman are responsible for the wildlife we have today and overwhelmingly the $ donated for conservation. The plate to eat from is only so big and constantly shrinking. His idea that hunters should be the one to give up their share for everything else will lead to net loss for wildlife.

Yea his overarching view is not something I agree with. I just hate coyotes and wolves and bears far less than I used to.

Never did like poisoning anything other than rats/mice.
