[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 4544672, member: 1827"] [b]Re: Thought experiment:What if we closed deer season for 1 y[/b] Not that it would ever happen but IF it was closed for a year for the purpose of growing older bucks, TWRA would be facing a melt down. 1. Their funding would dry up. 2. They would be facing class action lawsuits from lifetime license holders. 3. They would loose all credibility with the largest segment of the population... The average hunters and the non hunting public. 4. Once the season was closed, anti-hunters would run wild using this example as justification for closing as many seasons as possible. 5. The desired "more bigger bucks" dream will be a disappointment. There will likely be a noticeable increase in younger age class bucks (naturally since fawns and 1.5 yr old are the largest segment of the buck population). The few "whopper" bucks that make it another year will not magically become easily hunted and killed. 6. The bigger bucks at any cost mentality will cause an enormous backlash in the hunting community. [/QUOTE]
