[QUOTE="KDM, post: 229836, member: 314"] Alright. You want input from gramps, here it is. First of all, what will you be gaining by knocking back the NR season for two weeks?? I've hunted mulies enough to know that patterning mulies is like herding cats, so you won't gain anything on the NR's there thinking you will be able to get on more deer. Second, hot weather, ie. early season ISN'T prime time to see, much less hunt those mature bucks most guys covet, so you gain nothing on the NR's there. In fact, you will be pushing more NR's toward cooler temps and a better chance at having a good hunt. Third, if the first two weeks were for residents only, I submit that would only cause the majority of resident hunters to focus on those first two weeks of the season, pushing the numbers of hunters crawling the hills after mulies to the same number you have now with the NR's. Any gain there? Fourth, every NR pays over 250 bucks to get those tags that you only pay 30 for. Are you going to want to make up the difference in NR tag sales if there is a drop in funding? If you are willing to pay more, will everyone be willing, or able to follow suit?? Well, once we start getting into the "Lets raise the tag prices" we will inevitably hear complaints about how "We can't let hunting turn into a rich mans sport, or have the pay to play hunting!", which will cause this gramps to shake my head and ask....WTF over?? Is that good enough input?? [/QUOTE]
