Well, I kinda see this like the Gun regisration issue... they want to fix it but only the honest will pay the price for it!

what do you think the three point issue will do for Bull creek? Myself, you'll see less people wanting to hunt there and alot more dead deer in the woods! Toso wasn't elected and i don't know why, it was on the first go round then dropped and i was OK with it just because they offer the taking of a Doe during all phases of the season!

this one is another attempt to pull hunting away from us, when the same amount of hunters go into the woods and a smaller portion harvest deer, Then what will happen to those who under estimate the point length and bring it to the check in station? will they be painted as poachers, how about the kids, how long will they want to go into the woods when all they can do is watch them walk by? The FWC talk about Bigger horns and heavier deer but most of what i see is based on out of state deer, around this part of the woods you might see 7- 10#s and that's if everything is fine "food source, water and stress levels", The bear are doubling their numbers every year now, Miami tract is having a heck of a time with them, cyote too, and the bear eat the same food source as the deer... Again, this won't put more hunters in the woods!
