i don't know who "WE" is, But the season is about 120 days long, to this date i have been able to hunt approximatly 20 days thru the Quota system, on three different WMAs, not one time in the last 15 years have I put in more then once for each permit i have received, i know atleast 25 other hunters who do the same and not one is complaining till Now!
No i haven't gotten a permit every time, but i have had one Given to me so i could still hunt that season without having to go to another county to a romp and stomp area... i do go to these WMAs but not until the end of the season when there are less people who really don't try and hunt but want to ride around!

You can call them what you want, but the Bottom line here is the MAJORITY of hunters, majority, don't like what they See, The Quota stakeholders aren't making sure that hunters will hunt more then one weekend a season
(120 days), on Quota only WMAs, When 80% of the public hunting land is under Quota permits ONLY, One hunt and that isn't even guarenteed, won't get it!

I told you on the above post, the reasons this is being pushed so hard, you can call it what you want but the fact is, the average hunter isn't the problem here, But they are the casualty of this if it passes as is! I'm not prepared to be a caualty, i assure you!
