So, the DWR's claim to CWMU's are that they provide an incentive to landowners to keep the habitat intact for wildlife and not sellout to some type of development. I can't disagree with that. The other big reason is the money behind the whole thing, but that's not why I'm posting. The one thing I do have a problem with, and maybe it's just me, but what is the purpose or idea of letting people hunt with rifles starting September 1st? The whole claim to these cwmu's is to "preserve," but I don't see how letting guys hunt with rifles starting the 1st of September helps preserve anything. Anyone that has hunted for any length of time knows that bucks are out and about more during the summer months, and it's not until they shed their velvet that they really change their behavior patterns. People might say, well if you draw one of these tags you only get to hunt for so many days. I don't find that to be a valid excuse. Not to mention the fact that most of these hunts run for at least 2 months.
The whole idea that I'm out on the bow hunt in September, and there are people out hunting with rifles at the same time upsets me a little bit. I don't understand some of the logic that the udwr uses sometimes. What are your guys's thoughts???
