In some ways this may help the late season hunters still chasing horns on public ground. I would think this would thin the amount of hunters putting pressure on some of the state land. A lot of guys I would chat with in the parking lots or the local diner near the public land I used to hunt, most, if not all, were meat hunters. When the weather turns cold and your chances of taking a deer decreases dramatically, a lot of hunters are throwing the towel. Case in point, If I recall correctly, years ago during gun week after Wednesday you could only shoot bucks in the zone we were in (A). I bet that nearly 2/3 of the people hunting on that state land gave up after Wednesday. My step dad shot a nice nine pointer that Saturday.
