I think Hwy 56 would be the best new line for the SE zone. Basically it is between I-35 and hwy 52. Hwy 56 runs close to the "ridge" on where there is lakes/sloughs to the west VS creeks/rivers to the East in SE MN.
I am not sure who suggested last week that we should have a SE zone VS a South zone, but it is a great idea and I am ALL for it.
BTW, I just talked with Brad Nylin, E.D. of MWA, they had suggested last year to the DNR a SE zone VS a South zone as it was laid out a year ago based on member feedback. He also mentioned that he is also hearing a fair amount of grumbling about the current closed season in the South zone. The MWA was taken off guard as to the current framework when it was announced in July, as there was no indication of a coming change from the DNR.
So much for the DNR listening to the hunters on the decision to change the closed season length. What happened to the "hunter feedback" sessions from a few years ago? Why is not the DNR continuing to listen to the hunters this past year?

God, help me be the man that my dog thinks that I am.
