I will add that I talked to people several years ago who although big bucks were few in there area they had good deer numbers. I told them just wait because as wolves wipe out certain areas of deer they move to greener pastures and it’s just a matter of time and your area will get hit and hit hard. Well now I’ve heard back from 2 of these people who told me how right I had been as now deer were scarce for them. It’s like our game manager told me 20 years ago , if your your hunting area is we’re wolves den you’re pretty much screwed. For the first time in 49 years a ten man hunting camp got zero deer this year. In the past even after super tuff winters their deer pole was impressive. No offense Jack but at 15 years old there is a lot you don’t know I hope you continue to have good hunting but up here our hunting has been ruined and that ruin is spreading.
I understand that. The only reason that I don't like the bill was the fact that the chippewa county forest was included. I am not familiar with the rest of the state, so I don't express an opinion on how there deer tags should be handled. I do know that the chippewa county forest ( northern chippewa county), where I and one or two hundred other hunters( rough estimate) hunt, has lots of deer and deer sign. In a month of hunting the the chippewa county forest, I saw roughly 2 dozen deer. One of these was a huge 12pt. All the rest of bow season (including the 3 weeks that I biked out after school to hunt every day), I hunted in southern Chippewa county (central farmland) and saw under 10 deer.
