Its called PDSB, post deer season blues! Researchers have tried different options thru the years to fight this phenomenon. In the early years it was tried to combat it thru deer hunter meetings after season to discuss their successes and failures, these meetings usually involved high amounts of alcohol due to all the lies and misconceptions being passed as truth and fact, leading to false information and much impairment throughout the group. In the later years, it was thought that publications and hunting shows on TV could make sufficient improvement to fight the effects of PDSB. Its now known fact that this has lead to more misconception and lies, causing many hunters to seek out goals that are not realistic and plausible in their environment. Thus, causing high amounts of tension and stress among the deer hunting community and those trying to maintain balance between the groups and keep the deer herd stable and healthy within an area. This has lead to increased depression and anxiety for all sides looking for an answer to PDSB, thus many in the deer community and agencies that manage the resource have used high doses of antidepressants and anxiety prescriptions to help relieve their symptoms of PDSB. It is noted that the past decade that this has not subsided the symptoms of PDSB, as tensions have grown among the deer hunting community and misinformation and misconceptions have grown to a all time high. At this time, researchers in Colorado are experimenting with medical marijuana to combat the effects of PDSB, so far results are mixed, but as more tension grows within the deer hunting community the more researchers will look for answers to help aid those with PDSB. At the time of this article was written, the only known real help to fight PDSB is thru use of trail cams throughout deer season and post season to get a exact calculation of what is being seen within a hunters own community. Its thought that 40% of trail cam users have subsided the effects of PDSB, thus is a significant gain over just 5 years ago from 15%. BUT, in 35% of trail cam users the effects of PDSB have increased due to lack of result, causing increased tension among this group of hunters toward other hunters and agencies that manage. There is no known help for this group of hunters at this time, but research continues through local deer biologist and agencies, and also the medical community. Note, 25% of trial cam users are undecided, but show symptoms of PDSB. We have a long way to go to get a cure for PDSB( if we ever do), but if you show symptoms of PDSB the best help to get is to reach out to others that have had success in treating PDSB, and form a plan with them on how you can beat this before your symptoms worsen, and cause you give up all together.

For help, log on to tndeer and go to serious deer talk. Carry on and happy hunting.

Just change it to 2 bucks and get it over with already. You know it's coming sooner or later. Might as well do it now.

not if they continue to listen to the majority of hunters who prefer the 3 buck limit.

 

[Bow Hunter]

Unfortunately they dont always side with the majority. I think they will change it also but hope not.

I do agree it is only a matter of time. the deer hunting climate is changing, like or not and there is no going back

 

[BigGameGuy]

I agree as well. It is our slow and steady progression away from the American model of wildlife conservation and more towards the European model. Though we will continue to fight against the tides of change, and speak for the majority, I fear the more influential private interest groups will lead us more into the age of trophyism. All one needs to do to see it already happening is to turn on the television or open a popular hunting magazine.

Sad but true.
