[QUOTE="NDSportsman, post: 295342, member: 444"] Deer hunting and hunters have changed a lot since I started back in 1985. Just about everyone that wanted a tag back then got one and most filled them with whatever they had the opportunity. There seemed to be more tags then deer back then but success was always around 70% because people shot whatever they could. People relied on the meat more back than IMO. Now days hunters care more about the hunt and time spent with family/friends and less about filling the tag just to fill it or for the meat. IMO GNF needs to adjust their tag allotment to actual deer numbers rather then success % because that doesn't really reflect the amount of deer like it used to back in the day. They should have a much better idea of actual deer numbers now days.
