WHat changes would you like to see in regard to hunting season, be it birds, deer, or whatever else. The changes can be in the season itself, the bag limit, etc. It seems to me that the seasons are always pretty much the same, as are the bag limits. If you have hunted for very long, you can pretty much quote the book on all of these seasons. It seems very little changes and just like everything else with no change, interest is lost. What would you like to see that was different and possibly would/could make a difference? The last big change I can remember is the MLD program in deer hunting. I know TP&W department offers a venue to offer change that comes from hunters in regard to the county meetings, but think about this now so you can offer up some worthwhile ideas when the opportunity comes along. Get some people to thinking now.

NM late season rut archery season is a blast With modern muzzleloader technology there isn’t much difference between them and a single shot centerfire rifle I like Colorado’s rules where you can use an inline but can’t be scoped.

Why is the mule deer season so short? The lengthened it this season but why isn't it as long as whitetail? You only get one buck anyway so a longer season wouldn't greatly increase harvest rates I don't think. I would much rather have more time to be more selective on the one I shoot vs just making sure I get one during the short season

Season is designed to be well before the rut in most areas so the number of bucks shot isn’t near as great. Most mule deer hunters in Texas are looking for a mature trophy not just to put a deer on the ground

Personally I would like to see the speckled trout bag limit go back to 5 fish in the lower Laguna

The success rates on top end mature bucks would climb exponentially. Bigger ranches typically take less deer per acreage then smaller places

I haven’t fished Baffin since the regulation, even for tournaments it’s a rough run

NM late season rut archery season is a blast I wouldn’t mind that either. Any option to hunt them in the rut would be better than just having to watch them rut lol.

Dont make me take the head of a doe out of the field when I can leave a tit on a hind quarter as evidence of sex. The coyotes can make better use of a doe's head than the landfill can

Do away with different deer seasons because its supremacist.
Just deer season, one weapon ain’t no more special than another.
If they wanna play that game it should be spear only until December
No stupid head thang.
If you hit a deer and stuck with the inconveniences and cost of getting your vehicle repaired then you should be able to keep the deer and the rack

Allow deboning of meat in camp before taking it to the processor. I agree. Recently hunted CO for mule deer and was able to completly debone the meat which was nice and saved on cooler space. They do make you leave a testical or vagina attached to the meat as proof of sex.

Set the quail season dates and limits by county rather than a statewide season and limit. I don't know of a huntable population anywhere north of I-10 and east of 281 but all of those counties still have seasons.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.
