Not sure if any of you have had a chance to read this “Deer Season simplification Report” put out by the DNR, but here is a link. Being a Zone 4 hunter and an All-Season participant, I think there are some very interesting statistics about Zone 4. I have always felt like we have got the short end of the stick on the length of our season it is why I have moved to first the multi-zone license and then to the all season license. A benenfit to the all-season is I have found that I really enjoy the muzzleloading season and will continue participate in that season, but it would be nice to spreadout that shotgun season also. MORE TIME in the woods!!!
