This is another dumb F & G idea, maybe the next survey will be to reduce magazine capacity to two, and no extended chokes, Wow sounds like some of the same BS our NJ legislators are trying to force down our throats.
What if an overwhelming amount of sportsmen don't want it to be legal? Should the hunters have a say or is it because the popular opinion may not be yours that you feel the survey is stupid?
 
I know for fact is there's more issues in 6 day then the whole season combined...wardens phones ring off the hook...mostly trespassing and residential visual on hunters close to there homes...people should be able to hunt the way they want...they pay the same money as the next...a two buck limit would be great as a overall harvest for the whole season with choice of any legal weapon....
 
I have a better idea! Let's just ban gun hunting for deer altogether? Then we won't have to worry about drives or trespassers anymore! Besides, hunting deer with a shotgun or even a muzzleloader is cheating anyway and not really hunting, now bow hunting, that's real hunting!
 
I personally feel that deer hunting should be one on one , the deer against the hunter. With this being said I think banning deer drives would set a very dangerous precedent. what form of hunting would be banned next? and next? and so on. For this reason I am against the banning of any hunting method that is allowed now.
 
I am not against gun drives because I had good experiences with them .When a club member has to stand by me like God forbid I shoot a buck instead of any of them . Is that what you call true sportsmanship ??? When Hook and Hoof has to shoot every fawn on Turkey swamp WMA is that really fair chase????? Most gun clubs have their own Land leases also.Do you think they would shoot everything that moves on their own property??
Just for the record, the real Hook and Hoof, not the wannabe guide service does not hunt Turkey Swamp WMA and never has. I have hunted with the club since i was 11 years old and am now an officer in the club; I have never even stepped foot on Turkey Swamp WMA.
 
Why is this even coming up with Fish & Game ? Is it for the safety factor or complaints by the hunters who choose to stand hunt ? This post was for advice on to ban deer drives or not. We go from that and some start with knocks or digs on how hunters hunt. The way one hunts is his or her own choice as long as it legal. The real question is WHY is this survey being asked for ? Watch out you may pay for a Big Game Tag next !
 
I would not be surprised if F&G started up a driving permit in order to do deer drives on WMA's. They did not just issue a survey for a pointless reason. They are always looking to add to revenue and they can do it under the disguise of answering to complaints of many hunters who have had their hunts ruined. The permit would generate revenue and the fines for those that did not have the permit would drive additional revenue. Just my opinion.
 
deergetter,you have a problem with the deer club you mentioned in your post (#198),this is the second time you in a NEGATIVE way mentioned that club. Maybe you ought to see theyre president on any matter you deem is not right,I am sure " T " will accomadate you in your concerns. I see NO reason to mention a club or give out any names here. You definetly have a problem with clubs and as I mentioned in a previous post,you were not accepted into one or dismissed from one ! I hope you find peace and have many good hunts.
 
A lot of older hunters stopped hunting due to the dumb thing hunting clubs do even before the season . And yes hook and hoof does doe days in January . They might not now due to the low deer population on Turkey Swamp WMA
Actually, no they do not. Yes maybe some of the hunters from H&H have doe day hunted that area, but not as a club. Those groups, were made up from people from more than one club, and even some guys who do not belong to any club. As Parkrod stated, if you have a problem with something our club does, by all means, come and see us. We would be happy to accomodate you and here your concerns.
