Final poll on deer management and regulation

Voted for what I considered the most important. There was a couple of more that I liked also but chose the four that I felt would allow hunters more hunting opportunities.

Checked my 4........

Good set up on these Woody!

Decisions, decisions!

I'm glad to see that we aren't willing to ban my deer mirror or my acorn crunchy thing!

I think this is the most important one too. Lots of good ones though.

What we might do is seperate the top suggestions into two categories - a "regulations" and a "deer management" category.

Although some would fit into both categories.

Right now it seems that the most important, in our minds, is rising to the top. Only 5 selections have 10 or more votes.

I will give the NRC, IDNR and the summer study committtee results of all the votes, but add some verbage with the top half dozen or so.

I think we should see how it plays out anyways .Who knows till the poll is over ya know what I mean.Heck it was a tie and we still ended up with GW 2.0 and that was way bigger than this .LOL

Honestly there is one on here that is already in existence on this poll that I believe are totally waisting our time on voting for and that is the donating deer program .In these hard economic time times no one at the state level should or would vote to subsidies this because the money is needed and better spent for law enforcement and habitat programs .I mean the whole point to donating venison or deer is a philanthropic thing and not something you should be paid to do it a "DONATION" and as such the cost of the tag processing and even the gas and time to do is a tax deduction as it is a donation and if it is compensated it is a paid program and no longer a tax deduction.

I think despite all of the hopeful thinking and a big wish list we all have, some of these things listed are not and should not be high on our presentation list to the NRC .I mean seriously why would the state pay for our extra tags and processing fees? I know in the perfect world that would be great .But this is the real world and cost reduction and herd reduction or control <---{this includes takeing of more bucks not just does}/ habitat improvement rules will likely get a real good look spending money and freebies are not high on the adjenda .

I'm just pointing this out as our attack should be realistic very spacific and be preceived as helping the DNR or saveing money for example "tele-check" and any rule that kills more deer with no cost to the state but actually more money to the DNR . I mean the use of high pressure water drawn into a very small pin point will cut through any rock on earth .But spraying wide and in every direction will not make a dint on any rock .

Sometimes it takes sugar to get what you want in this world even if what you give is little money or effort a yes will likely come from the powers that be for what you ask for and want is likely come quicker. So narrow the attack be spacific and be willing to give a little to get what you want !
