    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Good point. I would happily pay hundreds more for a resident tag to ensure longer seasons and compensate for the non resident $ gap. Also I believe your described dichotomy exists because of how razor thin the margins on elk and mulyes are. I think they are in danger of tipping over at anytime...

    Agreed, but this is now me compensating if I go that route (which I will). Why not push the other way? Why wouldn't we all push for more days in the field?

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Nope and that is the story of my life since moving out here, scouting. Which ironically ends up being not as important as simply figuring out where the animals go to avoid people. This one does effect me personally, hear me out. I used every weekend from mid Oct to mid Jan to hit the woods...

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    I could care less about rifles in Iowa, I do care about the societal and political clout we lose as our numbers tank. Harping on goofy hunting laws from the past is just a way to get people thinking and get a conversation going. I don't mind being the sacrificial lamb if it leads to a neuron...

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Traditions are leading to a sinking ship. My entire purpose of this post is to challenge the tradition. My 270 is digging up dirt at 500 yards, I find it hard to believe accidental shootings would increase. The current number of shootings are most likely statistically insignificant and I would...

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    I hear you, I grew up hunting there. The public land hunting is not good and not easy to hunt. When I reference success and include FL, I'm talking private. People forget you can get on private land north of Big Cypress and continue down a private land corridor all they way up.

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Absolutely I understand it, the "we will all be shooting each other" argument comes up every time I have this conversation. I don't buy it for a second. I think perceptually the hunters of those states are conditioned to think season is a week long, where everyone is stacked on top of each...

    AK --> FL --> GA --> FL --> CO Yes the short seasons here make me die a little inside as well

    You proved my point perfectly, it's a culture issue. The reason you guys see rifles as dicey is because you cram everyone into a week. You are literally arguing that rifles are not appropriate for deer hunting. In reality, they are they most appropriate.

    You have to admit though, A-ron is a pretty cool dude.

    Texas is all private and no access without $$$. Not an issue there. Same for Alabama, GA, FL I would argue that loosening the seasons would give more reason for a person to spend on a yearly lease. Not my theory, just what I have observed first hand in the South.

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Times have just changed, and people are pulled too many different directions. - Exactly my point. The modern hunter isn't dragging his entire family and crew anymore for a week long season. He wants food and recreation, give him this freedom and hunter numbers might stop the down slide. As far...

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Actually I gave myself some wiggle room "These states have millions of deer" - a generalization applied to Midwestern states "You can use a straight walled cartridge rifle" - Great, so I can shoot a 1800's cartridge or a pistol round at deer now. Seems kinda backwards and my original statement...

    Bone-in steaks?

    Bone in chops are the only way to go if you use a processor. This requires them to pay extra attention to your request, hopefully eliminating some risk of getting community meat "butterfly steaks". And bone adds flavor.

    He came off as wildly insecure. But haven't you listened to him? He is a physical specimen with athletic thighs and diet as pure as the driven snow :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: . Dumps smell like roses. I can't help but think the quality of deer would drop dramatically. QDMA, These agriculture based...

    The focus of the conversation, hunter numbers in drastic decline in the Midwest. Not antler size. Obviously the fantastic whitetail hunting is not getting it done.

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Exactly, those seasons have been in place for as long as you can remember. And hunter numbers are falling off the cliff in these areas. Where are they not falling and what is the discrepancy? I believe it's the seasons. Take Iowa again for an example, what would happen if they gave the hunter a...

    Gritty Podcast 527: The future of hunting

    Brian Call, hopefully one day you will read this. Listening to you guys propose different reasons for the dramatic down slide of hunting in the Midwest, I feel you never get to the real issue. Declining Boomer populations, lack of public land, lack of interest are all valid topics, but I will...
