Still eab in z15 reg set 8

[Greybeard]

Not going to help our deer population by going from unlimited doe to 5 each season.  That's still 15 with bow, and 10 with gun.  

Did they mention when the digest will be up.  Pretty bad it takes them this long to get it together.

It effectively does nothing to address the concerns they say they are addressing.

 

The Division says reducing the buck limit from 6 bucks to 3 or 4 will do nothing because not many people kill 5 or 6 bucks a year, however, they want us to believe they are doing something by reducing the doe limit to 5 each season, which is still 25 antlerless deer. I'm sure the number of people killing more than 5 deer each season or 25 a year, is far fewer than those who kill 6 bucks. These people have no credibility.

Says September. That's a lot later than normal. I hope not.

First deer MUST be Antlerless

: Sept. 9-29, 2017

Antlered or Antlerless:

Sept.30 – Oct. 27, 2017 It still does not read like it should. It should say Earn a Buck if you have to earn one

[Swamprat]

Zone 23 got a couple extra permit shotgun days. No doubt the clubs influenced that greatly.

[Nomad]

Well..., at least I will save a lot of money on buckshot this year with only 9 does per season in Z5...

Reg set 6 was cut way back from unlimited does to only allow 45 does. The real change is no more doe hunting during 6 day unless it's with a bow.

Reg Set 8 first deer must be antler less , EAB or not , should be clarified by placing EAB or only antler less deer can be taken , it reminds me of a yield sign , never give em the option , Lol ! Ok , I got it , it's still EAB in Reg Set 8 !
