OK, I'll ask the Question.

[Pickelfarmer]

Please, just a yes or no reply. NO need to beat a dead horse any further.If you give a yes or no answer it will soon become clear where most MN hunters stand on the issue.

The Question: Should we change MN regs to make MN a better trophy deer state?

My vote : NO

[eyehead]

YES, 25yrs old

[koonie]

I don't think it's that cut and dry. Without knowing the specifics of the management tactics how can anyone honestly answer one way or the other.

My answer- I don't know.

[Fred_Bear]

YES. 20 yrs old

[snoozebutton]

If it's to disallow party hunting, I'd answer yes but then I live in Wisconsin so my vote doesn't count.

[chub]

No

[Hoyt4]

No

[Scoot]

No, nothing major.

But... what I would like to change is the amount of land I own. I'd like to go from 0 (current ownership) to about 2000 acres of prime river bottom land. Then, the state regs won't impact the quality of deer on my land because I'll manage the deer how I see fit. However, my only shot at this is the Powerball...

[picksbigwagon]

NO

[fivebucks]

NO - I would rather see deer and make my choice to shoot or not. If you put your time in there are plenty of big mature deer in MN. I have 2 on the wall in the last 10 years and missed a long shot this year of a maybe a bigger one.

[candiru]

No, Could live with the no party hunting for bucks but am worried about the slippery slope from there.

[DonBo]

Yes. 51 years.

[huntnfish]

I would have to say no without more specifics. I would like to see no more party hunting, though.

[96trigger]

No,

[DaveT]

YES

and if you said "no, but I want party hunting for bucks stopped", that counts as a yes in my book. I'm perfectly willing to start with that and end with that if it works.

[Bear55]

Yes, but with so many options to help improve the age of our bucks this really isn't a cut and dry yes/no answer.

[kingr]

NO

I don't need Minneapolis telling me what to do in Northern Minnesota.

[crothmeier]

NO

[paceman]

yes

[kr8r.tom]

yes...but it's really more of a balanced age structure. not having 80% 1.5 year old bucks versus 20% older. we just want more older age class of bucks to give better odds for a trophy say 60/40 or 65/35.

[bustin lips]

NO, you can't eat the antlers.

[shaunlenway]

No

[sig]

YES! 32 years

[sticknstring]

Yes

[Jaspernuts]

NO
