    DMP permitting = BS!!!!

    I hear ya. Seems like there are similar and conflicting stories in about every WMU. Those two WMU's are pushing around 270,000 acres. Seems like all the units have habitat and densities that vary. I think it is time they redistrict them IMO

    Just think they broad stroke things to much at times... Send out more surveys if they don't want to put boots on the ground... For me, I try not to shoot young bucks... but when the oldest buck you are seeing is 2.5 years old and they are VERY elusive... it is tough to have hope of seeing him... I fill the doe tags I am given... Use my rifle tag during BP to shoot another doe.. but without extra DMP tags I highly doubt the 2 or 3 does I am taking make much of a difference... 

    What is acceptable accuracy?

    thinking no matter the weapon, at whatever distance a 3" group happens that's it... Now... for me personally... I will not shoot a deer past 35 yards because in my thinking, if the deer takes a step my mind won't react fast enough and it will be a wounding shot.. Farthest deer I've shot with a bow is 32 yards... with a rifle it was 280 yds.. furthest I've shot an animal is a Gemsbok in Africa laser ranged at 309 yds..

    Another way to think of it is predator control... Black bears kill a lot of moose calves (and deer).... So it might not be your thing, but be glad there are guys out there doing it... In case you ever want to hunt moose... Just saying...

    After the past 4 deer I've killed with the bow and not being able to see my arrows (can't be because I am older (52) must be my arrows are flying so much faster LOL) I bought Nocturnals... got the practice nocks as well so everything should be good to go... I'll let you know after I shoot them at a deer..

Boy am I ever hoping they will show up after getting hard horned... tons of does... Hell, 1 camera had 507 triggers in 2 weeks... only 1 trigger was a coyote.. the rest were deer... VERY happy to see low coyote #'s.... Anyone else having the same issue???
