Also want days at the end of the season....Could put muzzleloader and rifle season together...Skip the December hunt...Also not seeing the numbers of deer...

You are correct! I personally think it should go back to the way it once was--Party tags for doe or you apply for a Doe tag,there are not enough breeder doe any more.The Wi DNR needs to get their heads out of their @#* OH! sorry that wont work.Just check with the local taxidermists,it,s all going bad ,no does no fawns we can,t have the season open earlier c,mon there wont be any knocked up does. It's only gonna get worse.it's to bad for our future hunters.

Do all you veteran hunters remember when you had to apply for a doe tag years ago and you weren't guaranteed it? That's right, you could only shoot a buck unless you applied for a doe tag. Now it's the opposite. The DNR caused the issue with the doe to buck ratio by not listening to the ones in the woods. The actual hunters. They still aren't listening.

10 years ago in Rock County it was not ucommon to see 10 does and fawns walking around. Since earn a buck those numbers have dropped dramatically. With two cameras and sitting in a tree for 8 hours a day there are no where near the deer. This year all I see is bucks. Have 8 differant bucks ranging in size from spikes to large antlered bucks. If earn a buck was to continue it wouldn't be long and there wont be enough does for everyone to shoot to earn a buck sticker. I think a 16 day gun season is better. But adding it to the end of the current 9 days.

didnt the gazette just have an article in here about a week ago? i think it said somthing like the hunters should expect to see less deer killed this year because of less deer in the woods this year? is the dnr on some sort of drugs? they cant make up their minds. one minute they say there are too many deer and the next there isnt as many as they thought. i for one can count the number of deer ive seen in the woods over the last 5 opening weekends for gun season on one hand. i used to see 30 or more opening morning. getting tired of wasting my money to see nothing. the deer population is the highest on private land where either noone can go in to hunt or only the owners go in and shoot their one deer a year.

Why would the dnr want to interrupt the one time of the year when almost every bowhunter is in the woods? If they want more seasons or longer seasons to draw down deer numbers then add the season to the end of the regular gun season and don't punish bow hunters again.The point of extending the season is to get more hunters in the woods.so why not add the season at a time when there are few hunters already out there. If they want deer numbers down so bad then give everyone two or three either sex tags so they can shoot their buck and also shoot a doe. I would like to see some numbers on how many people don't fill tags at all because of the eab bull.

I agree a longer season is needed and would rather see it after the traditional hunt. This doesn't interfere with those that bowhunt and coincides better with the rut. The thing that the DNR should change is earn-a-buck restrictions, which limits the amount of deer taken in a season.

Not agree, a week LATER (not earlier) AND LONGER would be perfect. Didn't you all read the article that states most are for a longer season AND EXTENDED IT LATER BY 1 WEEK, NOT EARLIER! Do what the majority says and it will be fine to pass. Judging by the number of car/deer kills, there might not be any deer left to hunt?

People are seeing less and less deer and the harvest numbers are down. Starting this season a week earlier for rifle which is during the rut, is a huge mistake. If there's no earn a buck, you're going to see buck harvest numbers like you've never scene before. There's simply not the deer they are saying there is. If you want to extend a season, extend it a week later. What still cracks me up is, practically the entire Southern half of the state, you can still hunt 4 months between bow, gun and muzzleloader, but that's not still not good enough for them.

How about a wolf season in northern Wisconsin? Maybe then we could think about seeing a deer.

I would agree to this. A week earlier and longer would be perfect.
