Originally posted by Blacktail1 View PostIf they do it the same as last year, exempts can start setting up feeders next week. Also if the same as last year, exempts will be able to review the slides via email and confirm understanding, no need to attend the full orientation, only need to show license, test, etc. requirements.

I hope this isn't true, and just a rumor. Let me know what happens on orientation day.
May need to write my Congressman.

The bottom line if they are going to open this to the public, the standards for hunting need to be the same for all participants.
I'm guessing they still have the rules in place by how close you can set up to another Hunter's area, so by allowing one group to place their blinds in advance of others gives an unfair advantage to blind placement.
There are locations that are known to produce great opportunities to harvest a deer year in and year out. So, why should someone who harvested a deer the previous year, not have to compete with everyone who also drew a permit for locations to an area?

Auto renewal of successful hunters, spike 1st (last year), and returning hunters getting to return to their spots.... they are just trying to improve success rate.
I'm ok with the rules, because they are in line with the purpose.... which is not really providing public hunts, but to reduce population.
(But I am a returning hunter, so maybe I am just biased)

I scouted found a good spot that hadn't been hunted and killed a doe to cover me for this year.
I see both sides but I don't have an issue with the rules as they are.

Also, If someone doesn't mind walking and scouting...there is no shortage of hunting areas. If you walk in 20+ minutes along the Goodnight Trail in most areas, you won't see a single feeder.
