Not so bad today when one considers:
My dad as a young man in the 30s, There were no tags and there were no tags for years plus no deer, just a bunch of rabbits and some lever action Winchester like a 22 HP, 25-20 (shot the Jordan buck), maybe 220 swift, 30-06 from the VFW or Legion and then those bunch of 30-30. But no tags.
My younger days in the 50-60s. Just walk into a store and get your tag Friday morning and go hunting. However there were few deer but in time one could get a deer, just maybe not what one wanted and the enjoyment of no other hunters out there. And I had a 264 Model 70 with all its speed.
Today one can send a email to game and fish and get a deer license. Only thing is the weapon of choice for that but if you work at it one can even come up with the size the deer you want, now and then.
And if you get a rifle tag one can buy one of them there worthless 223 AR and shoot your deer in the head while it is running in the sunflower field at 700 yards. Or so they say. db
