[QUOTE="tjones96761, post: 970057, member: 8955"] I've posted on this subject before, but here it is again. Without a way to enforce EAB or antler restriction, neither will work. I support both, but I'll be the first to admit that I will cheat the EAB by buying a tag, checking in a non-existing doe through online check in, and go back to hunting a buck. Obviously doesn't help the population any, I don't care for deer meat enough to clean my own, and don't want to have to drag it out of the woods for someone else, or let them into my place to pick up a deer. I am perfectly OK with shooting a doe and letting it lie where it fell, but that is also illegal. Antler restriction would be great, but online check in would have to go away. We use the 'honor system' in hopes that people will let young bucks walk now, and it doesn't work very well. antler restriction + online check in = inaccurate data that the OWD uses to set season limits and restrictions, so laws would only become less helpful to the actual population. Again, I'm all for ANYTHING that generates trophy bucks. But if we're going to be productive in getting the regs changed, we need to recommend complete policies, from design to implementation to enforcement to revenue increase (or cost) to positive effect on population, instead of a "wish list". AND open a season on all species of hawks. :D [/QUOTE]
