    I don't hunt WMA's....too many Elmer Fudds that'll freaking use their scope as binoculars or just blast away at anything that moves in the brush.

    I know you're behind the times sawman... but dang... they announced the changes almost 2 weeks ago.

    So what are we waiting for exactly?

    Seems as if they would like you to buy a hunting license but don't really want you to hunt.

    I was picked for FWC’s survey but I don’t think they paid any attention to me from what they have enacted

    Logic tells me . . . we need to kill every spike and button buck that we see. We will never have big deer in NW Fla in my lifetime and I don't really care about ya'll's kids anyway. After all,they will all vote for AOC so they deserve to eat dirt.

    The entire reason this came about is because central Florida hunters have been raising hell for a few years... we absolutely have a say, the problem is, they listened to one part of the state and screwed over the rest of us.

    So Florida will have to report harvests in 2019? Why is this a bad thing?
    I have no problem the harvest reports, I have a problem with 2 does a year. I'll fill that the first weekend of archery.

    Also, why put limits on the common man when they let thousands rot in the field every year from depredation....

    Yes sir it is. No does without a permit either.
    But given the forrested area (#1 in the country) I can understand it. There are not very many deer per square mile,and then,they are hard to get at and get out.
    Where I lived we had a road that went E/W. If you walked north from that road you could go 80 miles before even minor civilization. And then . . . you were in Canada. --- SAWMAN

    No farms with planted crops anywhere close to me either. Just a few places with fields for hay for the draft horses or <20 head of cows. One old farmer had 30 sheep/goats..No fruit trees except a couple in someones back yard,and those were cold hardy apple. No wild apple anywhere.
    No oak trees within 50 miles of me either. Beech trees with small nuts once a year,but then the deer had to compete with the bear and grouse. But the deer could only get the leftovers on the ground. Same with the maple tree sprouts that would start to come mid to late winter.
    With permission of the forrester or landowner,I would cut cedar for them. It was not like we have here but white cedar. The deer would strip all the green off of it in just a few nights.
    During an especially snowy winter the deer would end up eating spruce,fir,and even pine, new growth. I would get grain from Canada and put it out in my back yard. The state did not encourage this because they said that it brought too many deer together and if one deer got sick,it could end up killing the entire heard. --- SAWMAN
