The ND Game & Fish are offering 281 non-resident any deer bow tags for 2016, have they even finished their aeriel surveys yet?
It is based on the previous mule deer licenses so aerial surveys don't matter.
Glad they still have this. I hope to make it out this or next year. I paid three years of taxes with not shooting a deer, is it okay with you all if I come back and try again? What is the ratio between NR bow tags offered and resident bow tags purchased? Just curious...
It's a crock of $#!+ that they even get an any deer tag.
I realize it takes that long to get a rifle tag but it's the same wait for a whitetail tag out west. In 3b1 it's harder to get a whitetail tag than muley tag. Maybe we shouldn't allow NR to hunt period then. How long do they gotta wait to get that bow tag? I know a guy that has 11pts as NR for rifle tag and he's from ND originally
Right, 15% of last year's antlered mule deer gun licenses but what's the scientific strategy behind this? Another paradigm that needs to be changed that I thought was going to be revisited this year after all of the talk of a one tag system last year and all of the pissed off bowhunters. I know I heard that more than once at more than on advisory meeting.
That was done by the legislature several sessions ago. I don't particularly like it, but it is better than the unlimited tags they had before. Still think that one hunter, one tag is the only fair way to go but G&F doesn't have the backbone to stand up to a few bow hunters who do a let of yelling.
Not letting NR's hunt here at all is NOT a game we want to play. I'm assuming many of you like to be able to go to other states to hunt/fish, right?
