ND Deer Lottery Proposal

[gillraker]

In Wyoming you have to prove that so many animals are using your land to qualify for a landowner tag.

In Minnesota you have to let other people hunt on your property to get a landowner tag.

Both seem reasonable to me.

And both will never be a requirement in ND to get a gratis(free) tag.

How about limiting gratis tags to land owners whose land actually has habitat for deer. The core issue still come down to the fact that we have less habitat and are going to continue to have less deer and less deer tags.

Question from a non-hunter. If there is no deer habitat on their land and they get a gratis tag and they have to hunt on their own land, what does it matter?

It matters because there is a finite amount of tags per unit. So if gratis gobbles up tags, there can effectively be no remaining tags for us lowly public land hunters.

And yes -- the irony is that gratis hunters are SUPPOSED to hunt their own land tied to that gratis tag. "Supposed to" being the operative phrase.

Why would Minnesotans have to do that when they sell em over the counter to anybody essentially?

Pretty low percentage actually take the animal on their land

This really needs to be reported to the local game warden if people know this is happening!!
