2026 Deer Season Set

[LBrandt]

I know exactly where you live. About 14 or 15 yrs ago. You had a herd of close to 150 Deer about 5 miles North and 3 miles West of your place. There were lots of Coyotes in the area. But 60 - 70 where your located is a lot of Deer. And not much cover.

I get a group of bachelor bucks of about 6 or 7, some old bucks that tend to stay by themselves an now all the does spread out to have their fawns

NR archery tags for white tail are unlimited ….

Have read this thread up until this point thusfar and this is a major problem I've preached since us residents started getting the shaft decades ago. Makes no freaking sense whatsoever but should be crystal clear to all resident sportsmen and gnf who reside in this state. #frustratingAF

Nope. Was a slow death for most. Now those are swallowed up by the bto’s. That’s why you guys can bitch about farmers now. Your crp You love so much was the catalyst for the conditions you find now. Those big guys give two shits whether they leave habitat.

Yep and the insurance companies i can bet pushed the chronic waste disease bullshit because it gave the gnf reason to slaughter whole herds

In 2023 GnF asked the legislature for an appropriation to hire a grant writer for federal CWD money. Six million dollars per year. Less deer on the landscape equals less deer potentially shedding prions.

Also, in 2023 GnF asked the legislature for an appropriation to hire two grant writers for the Recovering Americas Wildlife Act. $26 million per year for more habitat. More habitat equals more deer.

When it comes to the money, NDGF will go both ways.
