Explorer Report post Posted Tuesday at 09:12 PM Honestly something has to change. Quota's on the early season and draw on the late hunt as I have said before. It's bs when you can't even chase big bucks when the quota turns it into a blitzcreig hunt. Meat hunters get their early hunt to shoot dinks and guys who want to hunt trophy bucks get draw tags that don't expire based on numbers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwana Report post Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM It is my understanding that archery hunters are to have 25% of the harvest. Until all hunters including rifle hunters are required to report their kills like the bowhunters, they don't really know the actual harvest numbers! I don't accept the best guess quota numbers, I want to know to the exact number that we are entitled to. If they don't report their kill, they can't apply the following year. I would like to see OTC bowhunting kills be required to provide proof of kill to G&F office. This to prevent antihunters from buying tags and reporting kills.

wildwoody Report post Posted Wednesday at 03:24 AM He's right you do not have to report the archery Bab hunt. Crazy there are some giants killed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can kill a big buck any time. Quotas keep from over harvesting. The only change I’d like to see is metered quotas. If a unit has 50 deer quota, maybe like shut it down in the early when it hits 35, and save 15 for late. and mandatory reporting or checking. That’s a no brainer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
