Whats Up with you

For 2010 ... I want to hear what everyone out there has to say about whatever it is they want to talk about... Lets hear from you...

I wonder what they say about it now

I'm talking about our wonderful Wisconsin DNR. For a long time they have been talking about lower the deer herd in Wisconsin. For a few years now they have been fourceing hunters to shoot a doe before you could shoot a buck. How about that.
Deer hunt 2009 central Wisconsin. The heart of farm country. Well guess what. The numbers are out. 638,000 hunters hit the woods in the whole state. Of those less than 200,000 deer were harvested. On the last day, I had the opp. to get together with 14 other hunters. So the 15 of us took to the woods. We pushed out swamps, We pushed out Pine Tree plantations, and yes even corn fields. All of these areas in the past have held good numbers of deer.

On this day, with all the hunters working together pushing hard.
WE NEVER SAW ONE DEER.
The deer gun season last 9 days. In that time I saw one deer in that 9 days.
There was a time you could see 10 to 15 deer a day.
But thanks to the DNR of Wisconsin.
We are lucky to see 5 a season.

So my hat is off to the Wisconsin DNR.

They have never let us done when it comes to really screwing things up for the Wisconsin sportsmen and women. To top it all off,
Next year they are talking a 16 day gun season.
If I understood it right, ..... The first 4 days are doe only.

If that is the case 2011 season , well maybe there won't be one.
We need to stand as one and .............. SAY .. NO.. TO The ...... DNR

Have a great day
God Bless

Wisconsin DNR (Department Of Natural Resources)

1971 I was 12 years old. It was then I started hunting in Wisconsin. No joke it was nothing to see 20 to 30 deer a day. Now days your lucky to see 10 all season. Insurance companies and are to blame. You might ask, What does one have with the other. MONEY. Now I'm not saying that some of these people in the DNR are taking money for the choices that are made. I'll leave that up to you.

There are insurance claims from damaged done to cars. That's a give me. Take into account that everyday that goes by , a new driver hits the road. Also consider that we are build homes and some cities in and around where Deer live. So ya there is going to be damage done not only to cars but also to property.

So with that in mind, the insurance companies are crying because of the claims they are paying out. So in turn they contact the DNR and pay or plead to get the deer herd down. So these brainstormers go to work. Never mind that hunting at least in Wisconsin brings millions of dollars to the state. Good for the economy right. Ya well. whats good isn't always the road they go.

A few years ago they came up with a plan that you had to earn a buck, by harvesting a doe before you were able to harvest a buck. Now it's the 2009 hunting season. Let me tell you the hunters and land owners stuck together and and at least for this year have a regular hunting season. Allowing the hunter to decide what he or she wants to harvest.

But on the horizon is yet another grand idea...HA. The DNR is proposing a 16 day hunt. Wait let me back up alittle first.
As it is right now. There is a youth hunt... This is where you can take your youngster out hunting in Oct. Then we have a T-zone which is also in Oct. Then in Nov. We have the regular 9 day season, Then In Dec. we have a Black powder and another T-zone hunt . Not to mention Archery season.

Now for next year and the 16 day season.... What can I say. Then we won't have any deer. The state will loose millions in revenue, Jobs will be lost. It will have a devastating effect across the board.

Hey DNR, whats next, you going to call in the military.
Get off your dead a## and look around.
That's all I have to say about this.
For Now.

God bless
Have a great day
