[QUOTE="TimberMan, post: 5292668, member: 20144"] I know what I'm about to say will not be a fan favorite but here it goes anyway.. First I do not hunt everyday of season, but would say i'm probably out more than most. I can't believe public land hunters are willing to limit there hunt options to rest an area and make it so it is more overcrowded on the weekends. I enjoy the ability to go to a wma that's open 7 days a week, on a typical workday, with very few other hunters. Ducks seem to work better without 50 groups highballing at everything in sight, or surface drives blasting through roosted ducks. I'd be for a shell restriction and motor size limit before I would hand over hunt days at my favorite wma. I bet if we went to a paddle access, outside of river channels, on wmas the hunting would improve but i don't hear that mentioned, too much work? Do people honestly think we will get days back or will the public hunter be unable to hunt most weekdays, essentially shorting the season due to lack of accessible hunting areas? How about add another split that effects both public and private lands the same. Most of the places with rest days are just as bad of hunting as 7 day hunting wmas. In my opinion the issue is how we use the resource such as the previously mention loud motors, skyblasting, blowing calls nonstop, and every hunter tries to hunt the same 300 acres of a 10,000 acre wma. And yes I believe the addition of both federal and private refuges have hurt hunting. [/QUOTE]
