I guess they will be running the fall hunt along with the opening of the archery season for deer. Should be a little more dangerous in the woods this fall. i think I am going to start wearing an orange vest in and out of my stands. I was thinking about doing it anyway but this , if passed, will clinch it. I think it's a good thing if the population can sustain it. Rick |

Would love to see WMU 56 open as it will open up some new areas for myself and others to hunt. Matt |

I'm a bit sour that they didn't include 85. Not sure they know what there doin. I can't re submit a comment. maybe it's because it's past the cut off date. Don't know! I really don't think they do either.

Hey Ian have you ever tried to draw on a turkey from a tree stand? I tried it last year when they were about 80yrds to see if i could. I have many friend that say they could have shot a few birds from their stands but they never drew on them. Good luck to anyone that thinks their going to harvest a turkey from their tree stand with a bow. I think a few guys will get them with X bows but we would have better luck from a ground blind. Turkeys seem to keep a eye out for owls and redtails.It will be interesting to see how many get harvested.
