Issues like hunting bobcats with dogs, the number of bobcats in the state, a low harvest of fishers and the state of turkeys after a hard winter were discussed. But deer mostly occupied the discussion. A Shiocton bow hunter and landowner was primarily concerned about the Zone-T late October hunts infringing on the prime bow season and protecting land from other hunters. The hunter expressed little concern about deer damaging young growth of trees, while other hunters were concerned about giving woodlots a chance to survive browsing deer. Baiting and feeding of deer was discussed, with no consensus gained other than it will become a controversial and hard to manage issue in the near future.
Hunters are the real managers.
