Cory Netland (Spicer/DNR) also emailed me and he says he also dislikes the 8 deer option and the timing —(MEA) weekend but basically said it was his only option as they need to kill more deer. He’s hoping for at least 500 more does shot Cory has been good to respond and emailed that he does not expect that this season will take place in Zone 277 in 2022? Sometimes emails and calls (nagging) helps. We have some very boisterous hunters in our zone that email or call the managers quite often. Sometimes it helps, and at times it falls on deaf ears.

Sure do appreciate the reminder to wear orange this weekend…sarcasm. The beauty is I’ll be hunting with my 12 year old daughter who’s not taking part in youth season or early antlerless. She’s using her regular bow with her regular archery license on private land trying to shoot a buck. God I hate wearing orange.

I don’t hunt much during the special gun hunts but if I do I just wear it walking in/out. Put it in the backpack when on stand.

That may change the plan this week.

I saw a couple people last year in otc in orange. Very low impact. But also not necessary. I hunted at 12 in moon boots and froze to death at early stages of deer hunting. We all have. Man up.

Not anti youth hunts, but yeah things have changed. No special season needed to get me hooked on hunting. We had 40 kids on my class 20 boys, I bet 80% of them hunted.

I've heard more shots yesterday and this morning than I have in all of the previous youth/EA hunts combined. Really not a fan of these BS hunts.

That is good! I just hate the timing of it. Bucks are just starting to move and now we have a gun season for 4 days. There are a lot of hunters out. No need for any early antlerless season at all, the youth hunt, I am old school...I'll leave it at that.

13 cars on the almost adjacent, wildlife management area this morning. Twelve this evening and over half of the WMA is open grassland. 560 acres total.

But maybe they were nature walkers?

I saw zero trucks anywhere this weekend in OTC parked on properties through my normal travels. No orange.
Dad is reroofing the old farmhouse the last 3 days. He heard 1 semi close shot today while working. Youth hunt up here is very light in general it seems.
