It was probably in anticipation of the trespass law passing
yeh I just about fell of the chair reading that too ..... huh ? Why in the f are there mule deer doe tags in ND ? Makes no sense unless population goes crazy . They want to reach 75,000 tags by next year , so guessing this year will jump from 55k to about 62k and next year to about 70-75 k
That’s code for we need the money. And mule deer country has the most public land which would reflect the expectation no trespass law was going to pass
