bowsniper Report post Posted December 16, 2008 Guys, Don't bother to write to G&F about this issue until January when it is officially opened up to public comment. It took me a 20 minute conversation and several specific exacting questions with Celeste Cook at G&F rules today, but after I finally asked the correct perfect question, she finally admitted that comments about a rule that are submitted before it is officially opened up to public comment, are only "tallied", and not included in the "preamble" (whatever the heck that is). It really does annoy me off that G&F has to be so evasive with their responses to questions. Bottom line, comments that you have already sent to G&F do not count as much as comments made after it is officially opened up to public comment, scheduled to be around January 2. So hold off you comments until then, and also resubmit the ones that you have already made then. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually wondering about whether the official comment period was open. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schmalts Report post Posted December 16, 2008 I did not read all 22 pages but I read the first and will say this.. You guys are better off without baiting in the long run. Trust me, baiting only ends up in bad ways in the long run. You will have private property owners baiting and a good mass majority of deer will never come off that land. You will get deer becoming more nocturnal, and deer not moving as much in day hours because they have full bellies and do not need to move and forage as much as they normally would have to. Baiting is alowed in WI and trust me, we would be better off without it as it leads to waaay to much illegal activity as well. guys are dumping truck loads of feed out there because they do not live near the hunting spot and that makes deer nocturnal as well.
