I'm gonna have to hire a Philadelphia lawyer to interpret the damn regulations this year. Wow....the most complicated freaking document I have ever seen. They have gotten worse every year. I still dont know if we have an early doe season or not after reading the thing a few times. At some point.....a guy my age just feels like: "screw it.....I'm gonna do what I want and the state can pound sand". I never shoot enough deer to get close to the bag limit anyway. I really hate to see those youth seasons and the vets special hunts and the folks over 84?  ? I mean WTF are they thinking? If this level of confusion continues....they will just drive more folks away from hunting. Maybe that's the plan? ......and the regs are available in Somalia, and Spanish and Hmon? What is wrong with English? If you can't do English you cannot have a license?? Incentive? My 2 cents. A few years ago, I got a ticket on a violation that I didn’t even know about. At that time, about half of the hunters I talked to didn’t know about it either. The fishing regulations can also be very confusing,especially on Mille Lacs. |

A 2 deer limit and a landowner tag in counties with high deer populations might be a much better option. There’s really no public land that I know of that is overrun with deer. I guess I can see the 3 deer limit in parts of the metro ? The landowner tag means that your land is open to the public. I gladly buy a tag rather than to be on a list. The landowner tag needs to be revised . Minnesota needs to check with neighboring states on how to use it . Iowa as an example, they give them out in high deer areas. No BS associated with it . Pretty simple. Minnesota can’t seem to figure out simple stuff. |

This is the thing.....they are gonna make crooks out of allot of otherwise good intending folks with overly complex laws. We just want to be good JPS's and do a little hunting and fish'n. |

Shooting turkeys because you thought they were varmints, which have no season? moving a deer carcass with out ‘validating’ a tag. I drug a doe about 15 yards and decided to let the young guys drag it the rest of the way. We always notched the tag and attached it at the pickup. Now I know that ‘validate’ means notched and needs to be done at the kill site. |

I've had a couple instances with the CO being present when I drug a deer to the side of the road. After checking my tags, they have both made a side comment something like "so you did validate your tag at the site." They way they say it makes a guy think that they were expecting an easy ticket, and were disappointed not to get it. |

Art Art Art..... Tsk tsk Dont you know the tagging process yet??? Gut the deer, flip it over belly down, spread the back legs out, let it drain out, sit down on the back of the deer, take off jacket and hat(because now its sweaty time), catch breath, ponder for a moment why I just shot this deer since I have delicous angus in the freezer at home, tag deer, prepare to huff and puff and sweat pulling the deer out, Process complete.  |

'Notch the tag before you gut the deer' will keep most hunters legal as most gut at the kill site. ...... CO helping me drag a deer to my truck, "You got a tag to put on this?" "Yes. So what's the rule, can we put the deer in the truck and then put the tag on it, or do we have to put the tag on before we put the deer in the bed of the truck?" CO, "It don't matter." Me, "I've always figured it didn't matter unless the CO was standing right there. And, you're here."  Then he checked the tag to see if it was validated at the kill site. |
