Game management ”“ for all game ”“ is something that should be handled on a scientific/factual basis at the state level by whatever means they deem necessary. Be it with hounds, bait, trapping, etc., if it’s what needs to be done and it’s effective in managing a population, then it should not be altered. By no means should anything be managed on emotions.
There’s no good that comes from managing with emotion on either side of the fence. I trust the state’s biologist to set the seasons and the methods, that is what we pay them for. I will be voting no on Question 1.
