I'm just amazed that we have made it to 20 posts without hearing how the sky is going to fall and we're all big babies for not wanting it to stay like it is. I'm guessing that will change tonight...
I think it will change back when the time is up because the DNR doesn't like someone else doing their job .
IMO - It will never happen. WAAAYYY too many folks will have HPRs by then.. It would be "prying from my dead cold hands.."
The sky didn't fall this past season. None of the horrors we were sure to endure came to pass. The chicken littles will likely be reticent to make the same claims again.

And I agree that the professional wildlife biologists ought to be the ones who make and set regulations that are about the biology and health of the herd. The use of weaponry however is a social issue, not one of biology, so I have no issue with the state legislature taking up the issue. I just wish they had consulted knowledgeable hunters who have no agenda, before they settled on only the calibers they did initially.
The DNR should handle "social issues" too that pertain to hunting.. They have done so in the past, but IMO with mixed results. But NOBODY can screw something up worse than a legislator..
