I don't think a state can have more than 3 zones. I could be wrong.

Simple, the central zone absorbs the Southern zone, leaving option for third zone to be a river zone. Hastings down to IA, ten to maybe fifteen miles of land from river in zone....call 'er good.

I can live with that. I don't think our MN DNR is that creative. The split should be 5 days long.

The DNRs fear is that it'll concentrate way too many hunters in the SE zone. That's what I was told, as I proposed that years ago already.

It's the only open water in the picking State, that's what concentrates the hunters.

There will be a few with fields near large reservoirs that will piss and moan, but most hunters lack access to those areas.

If reports from other groups are any indication, it's a bit more than that OR they're just whinier phuck hunters than the rest, which is a feat in itself. It would appear the bro-guide turf wars are fairly fierce.

I haven't hunted the river all that much but I'd say if anything contributes to increased pressure it's WI. The river to them is their Western flyway.....it'S their holy grail.

So that wouldn't surprise me....a bunch of MN idiots trying to block out MN hunters, willing to screw up the hunting for the entire Southern part of the state to do it, only to have the real issue be a bunch of dorks from the land of beer and cheese.
