Week 2 blog- Hunting
In the 2009 Wisconsin Deer Hunt, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) over estimated the number of deer in our state. You may think this isn’t too big of a deal, but to hunters like me, it is more than a big deal. It affects which hunts I am allowed to hunt in and how many deer I can shoot in those hunts. For example, in my hunting zone which is 74A, there was no T-Zone hunt this season. It was supposed to start on the 14th of October and go through the 17th but It was not allowed in the zone I hunt in because the WDNR over estimated the population of deer in our area. The T-Zone hunt is a hunt where u can only shoot does. Because of the WDNR over estimating the number of deer in our state, it has also affected me as a hunter in 74A during the regular deer hunting season because if I want to shoot a doe, I have to go and but a separate $12 doe tag. Never before in my hunting life have I had to go and buy separate tags for doe. Normally, when I buy my license, it comes with at least two doe tags, and it did this year, but they are no good and can’t be used. Which to me isn’t fair that I have to pay money for deer tags that I can’t use, to me that doesn’t make much sense. I guess I can do much about the whole situation but deal with it and continue to hunt as much as I can.

Yes, that seems like a really big deal, but unfortunately the hunters are the people that get the effect of their mistake. Hopefully you make the best out of regular deer season and use up all your tags. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteYea Jeff shoot a big one and make me proud. I really think that the DNR is making these so called mistakes for a reason. I think that many deer get hit by cars so the car insurance companies tell the DNR to let people shoot more deer so that way the insurance companies don't have to pay for so much car damage.
