it ought to be illegal....:mad:

Sorry it doesnt cover anything about surplus moneys if not enough deer are donated

Just curious what happens to the money if there is a HUSH program overfunding....meaning if Iowa sells four hundred thousand licenses and HUSH skims a dollar a piece off of those licenses. Then only just a limited number of deer get turned into the HUSH lockers(@75.00 per deer to the locker)...

You already know my answer....my reason for posting is to get hunters to think about it before they drop 10 more does this season...we are the only management tool and possibly are own worst enemy

Lot of great points made...but at the end of the day the point that many seem to be missing is that you have to see past the 100 acres and just the farms you hunt. This needs to be looked at from a larger perspective.... Hunters are the only tool the state has on how the herd is managed and we...

Agreed definitely a little lat this year....I think the current moon cycle has a lot to with it.

Read the STOP shooting does thread......your making my point for me. Many hunters are experiencing this same problem. It wont be long until those out of state Non Resident money maker tags are left un-purchased because the natural resource will have been depleted.

Hardwood read the whole thread then ask your question again

Rack Man great first post....so who do you work for the insurance company or the farm bureau.

WIWhitetail ...thanks for your input...tell these guys how quick it can go from ok to really bad. You have lived it and seen it...some of these guys while there intentions are great still dont see the large picture. Share some of the storys...I heard guys of guys going to such extremes of...

Why are 50% starting to stay Nanny? What does that do for the deer herd everywhere else ? If they start to stay their on your farm and you kill them off to be at acceptable levels .... what then happens to the levels at the farms they migrated in from ? We as a group have to think bigger...

Amen ....exactly my point...if we could get more people to drink the cool aid

I bet I could make a blanket statement don't shoot hen pheasants and everyone would agree....deer disperse just like any other animal, it depends on food cover and pressure from hunters, predators etc. It will take a joint effort at this point to the fix the problem that may already be too late...

Will non residents pay 600+ to come hunt a state where the deer numbers are not that great anymore....It wouldnt take long for word to get out that the numbers of deer are down, translating that to mean the number of trophy bucks are way down as well. Then the government and the hunter is in a...

Mark my words......I have lived and seen this in two other states....we are are own worst enemy....and one day you will realize that shooting does when the herd is down will just make it worse. Its not hard to do the math, it is not a simple one to one ratio. In fact it really comes down to...

I have seen this happen in two other states...in a couple of years all you`ll be eating is your words....STOP it now period or you do yourself and all other hunters a dis-service.

The deer herd is becoming decimated.....We as hunters are the tool the establishment is using to make the herd smaller. Wake up and just fricking stop shooting them....how dense can you be when you complain to me your not seeing enough deer then you go out and shoot does.,...You might as well...

Amen...sounds like a serious case of misguided priorities. Wait till he dies or worse yet the day your dad dies and think back on this conversation. You would gladly give anything to have the chance to hunt with them just one more time. You have the rest of your life to hunt...this is just...

Droid here couldn't live without it

Just thought I would bring up a old thread as the discussion still seems relevant
