[QUOTE="KDM, post: 89831, member: 314"] Look at it this way Bowhunter_24, walleyes and white tails have the same basic biological needs. Food, Cover, Security. Water is kind of a moot point here so I'll skip that one. A body of water, much like an section of land, can only support so many walleyes or deer. A minimum length does the same as minimum number of points for deer. It doesn't increase the walleye population or the deer population, it just increases the pressure on one segment of the population, just like the antler restrictions. Most deer won't ever reach 160 inches of horn and in the same way most walleyes won't make ever make it to 8 lbs. It's not in their DNA. Does that make more sense?? As far as the slot limits, their has been quite a bit of research done on the subject, and the data shows that slot limits neither help, nor hurt a walleye population. So having a slot limit is needless frustration for fishermen who want to keep those fish, it's needless enforcement for wardens, fishermen choosing a location to go fish may choose to go where there is not a slot limit which hurts those businesses that benefit from having fishermen utilize that body of water. Those are just a few I could come up with. [B]And I will add this: Whoever was/is giving bad rep to riverfisher, iceeye, or anyone else for voicing their opinions IS A DISGRACE. EVERYONE has the right to speak out. That is what this site is for. Don't turn this site into the crap flinging shrite show the other site became.[/B] [/QUOTE]
