Below is the text I pulled from that link. We all likely have differing views on the definition of "concrete environmental harm", but there seems to be general agreement on this site that paying people to not farm good, flat ground is a bit overboard. If we end up with a reduced CRP program, I...

Is schedule F actually a requirement in the regulations or is that an opinion of something that should be added? I do not see that in the DNR regulations booklet. Timber is considered agriculture by the DNR.

It is crazy in IC. The DNR finally stepped in and said you can't use White Buffalo again until you try urban bow hunting. I'm the chair of the Polk County Deer Task Force so was involved a bit in getting it rolling as the Polk County program is a great success. In my work with the...

This is not true according to the regulations. A LOT counts as one of the 2 tags you can get in the spring. Straight from the regs. HOW MANY TURKEY LICENSES MAY I HAVE? A resident hunter may obtain a maximum of two fall turkey hunting licenses: two Combination Gun/Bow Licenses, or two...

Unfortunately the data does not make it back to the legislatures - unless they ask the DNR. The DNR can't just present it to legislatures - which makes it much less effective.

I am sure every single hound and houndsmen are exactly the same - just like every bow hunter is exactly the same. Just because you have a sample of 8 that are good does not mean someone else did not have a very different experience. I am glad your experience was good, but you have no position...

It seems you are calling those who push deer communists. I assume you meant to call anyone who opposes using someone else's tag on a deer a communist. In either case the apology for attacking people sure didn't last long. We all know your position as you have stated it many times. If calling...

I saw no lecture, just questions seeking to understand. "Stick it up your ass" seems much more of a lecture than those questions were. Disagreement and discussion are fine. Why attack someone?

I found the article a little confusing. They lost $20k as one out of state group did not draw, but they turned around and leased to a different out of state group. The issue seemed more to be their "preferred" group did not draw rather than really losing lease income.

Dakota Hill with Dreamland Excavating out of Leon did a great job on our pond cleanout.

Turkey hunting had something like this back many years ago. Stevens, Shimek, and Yellow River were their own zones with a limited number of tags. If you drew, you could only hunt there.

I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone on this site is advocating to eliminate group hunting and deer drives. "Party hunting" often means different things, that is why we need to be clear on which aspect we are talking about. Allow drives and working together - but only your tag can go on...

We are talking about making changes. It is easy to eliminate tagging deer shot by someone else and keep the group hunting aspect. I can assist any turkey hunter as long as I bought a turkey tag - even if that tag is filled. Same rules could apply to each gun season. I have no problem with...

Party hunting means tagging someone else's deer. Removing that does not restrict hunting in groups - but does restrict 1 guy from shooting multiple bucks.

You do realize landowners already get an extra buck tag right now. So, is it lords and peasants now?
