seems to be some discussion regarding trading road hunting for an extra week of season extending into January?
landowners are at the point that they want to shut down all road hunting, i can't say as i blame them with what happens too often.
but it seems as though an extended season would often be worthless, as often you can't even get out of the Walmart parking lot in Mitchell, due to the snow in January. the lost revenue from NR hunters would likely be the real result....some vets and others who can't walk or don't want to walk could no longer follow there dogs down the road, hoping to point a rooster in the ditch to blast.
the ditch hunters would still have Iowa, so they would have an option, also with a cheaper license, good for the season.
change is inevitable, eventually.
