EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ATV'S (AIRIEL TERRAIN VEHICLES)HAVE TAKEN THERE TOLL ON THE TROPHY MULE DEER!!!
YOU NEED TO HAVE AN UP CLOSE & PERSONAL TALK WITH THE DWR!!!
DEER NUMBERS ARE UP THIS YEAR,YOU CAN'T PROVE IT TO ME THOUGH!!!
DO YOU BELIEVE ME??? OR DO YOU BELIEVE THE DWR???
GO AHEAD AND ANSWER THE QUESTION,YOU WON'T HURT MY FEELINGS!!!
THERE ARE OTHER UNITS SUFFERING ALSO FROM THE SAME SYNDROME!!!
HERE'S A LITTLE OF MY THEORY!!!
MULE DEER USED TO BE HUNTED FOR 7-10 DAYS,AS TIME WENT ON THERE BECAME MORE HUNTS,ARCHERY,MUZZLELOADER,FLIPPER,TOMAHAWKS,ETC.,THEY DECIDED TO PLANT STINKY ELK,MORE HUNTS,MORE HUNTING PRESSURE,THEY DECIDED TO LET 14 YEAR OLDS HUNT,MORE HUNTING PRESSURE,THIS MEANT 14,15,16 YEAR OLD HUNTERS ALL IN ONE YEAR,A PRETTY GOOD HIT,COW ELK HUNTS AND MORE COW ELK HUNTS,SOME THROUGH JANUARY,MORE PRESSURE ON THE DEER HERDS,LETS DO A MUZZLE LOADER ELK HUNT DURING THE RUT OF THE DEER,MORE PRESSURE ON THE DEER HERD WHEN THEY NEED A MORE RELAXED TIME,EVERY AREA I'VE SEEN ELK BROUGHT IN THE DEER HAVE WENT TO HELL,THERE ARE ALOT MORE REASONS THAN I MENTIONED BUT DO THE MATH AND ADD IT UP,THERE ARE CONTINUOUS AND OVERLAPPED HUNTS THAT START IN MID-AUGUST AND THEY RUN THEM DAMN COW ELK HUNTS INTO JANUARY,THIS DOESN'T DO ANY DEER HERD ANY GOOD,DO YOU REMEMBER 'THE DECLINE OF TROPHY MULE DEER'???
DON'T GET ME STARTED,I'D LOTS RATHER HARVEST A TROPHY MULE DEER THAN A STINKY ELK,BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HUNT TROPHY ELK BEFORE THE DWR WORKS THE LE UNITS OVER,KNOW WHAT I MEAN???
THE ONLY bobcat WONDERING IF WE COULD ADD A FEW MORE HUNTS IN SOMEWHERE???THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH OF THEM!!!
