You know all you have to do is feed more correct...

Lol, oh the irony. It's really funny actually.

Halrious!!!!!

Pulpits about tradition, yet completely ignores why we have seasons.

Thinks it all about YOU. Lol.

Let me put this in simpler terms....why does KS have a draw for Tags and we do not? Why do they have ML restrictions on equipment and we do not. ZERO todo with tradition.

Or better yet why does CO have OTC units and Draw units for all weapons?

It has ZERO to do with Tradition has everything about sustainable harvest.

One, any weapon season, would not effect the sustainability of Texas Deer herd.

TPWD job is to maintain sustainability not pitty your tradition. Thank God they don't for the most part.

MLD is about herd management, thus why there are three levels and first two focus on doe and herd numbers first and foremost. Why you can't see the black and white on the subject is beyond me.

Sssshhhhhhhhh

So make it harder hunting...lol

That's an NP all about me response. Don't want rifle hunting in Oct, don't allow it or find a place that doesn't. In mean time let's continue down the path of being great conservations and land stewards, lets expand the MLD type season so we can maintain better control over our herd management.

Go back and read my previous post on this thread. I never denied why I didn't want the rifle season extended. I am selfish and like the woods to myself. I want the first chance to hunt mature deer when they are easier to pattern before the rifle hunters because they are much easier to kill with a rifle than a bow. I can justify my selfishness by saying that I am choosing to use a weapon that isn't as efficient, thereby taking more effort and thought to be successful. Everyone has the same choice and opportunity to do as I do.

There isn't a year that goes by that I don't get a couple of deer on camera that I don't say "I better get him before rifle season because he will die".

yeah well, I didn't want to make this about me, although Sniper, have you ever heard my story?





not that easy

JHouse ....STX filled me in...

I will pray for you Sir

It's pretty simple, if you do not take advantage of what the law allows, you have no reason to complain. Now that crossbows are legal no one has an excuse not to get out and hunt during bow season.

The reason for bow season and shooting doe only during bow season makes sense. The overall success rate is low, so they figure only a fraction of doe will be shot with a bow vs rifles. It's not a way to pick on the rifle guys, its a way to slowly introduce the option to shoot a doe where you normally would not have been able to do so.

the 6th year's the charm!

2 more letters should be carried out on that. Hogs will be real happy.

If he's still alive, he died from laughing at this...

Next year will be different...wait, we gon shock the world!...wait, hope!

You & Obama with that hope & change spiel.

ok, NOW you've crossed the line

Should've built the Trump wall.

I bet that big 8pt shows back up in March.

of course he will

Think you could kill him with a rifle in Oct? (Assuming you don't build the wall to block him off before he returns)

this past season I would say yes, prior to that I don't think it would have mattered at all.

I am an avid deer hunter and will hunt with about any legal weapon that gets me time in the woods. I also prefer the separate seasons. I love archery and agree it is a different strategy then rifle. Positioning ones self to ambush a deer at less then 25 yards in a less hunter occupied woods is different than sitting in a blind and watching territory for a rutting Buck at 25o yards. I would also love to see a separate additional muzzle loader season in Dickens county where I have my place as I sure enjoy that aspect as well.

Wow! Would love to see Doe Days for Freestone County. We have a huge population in our area.
