It's been the stance of more than a few archery only hunters in the store. Many of them feel they own the woods, and have said outright they would like to see firearms season eliminated. Aren't overly fond of small game hunters like me, either. It's a short sighted viewpoint, but to pretend it's not out there is unrealistic.
Didn't say it isn't out there although I have never heard it. Just that there is no organized movement.
the problem with Indiana management is there is limited land available to hunters- fee or otherwise (especially no fee). Hunter numbers are decreasing on average, too many hunters are not harvesting does.
Record harvest in 2009 was BS. Even the local CO's felt they were cooking the books or counting depredation permits in the formula.
Happy squirrel/rabbit hunting!
