[QUOTE="KDM, post: 142022, member: 314"] Until our illustrious GNF performs annual surveys for white tails in every unit in ND, all this arguing over tags is IGNORANT. Our GNF has NO IDEA how many white tail deer there are in any given unit and as a result, their tag allocations are voodoo magic and guesswork. Surveys filled out by individuals are NOT statistically valid as they are subjective information and not objective data as each individual has their own biases and agendas. I've said it at least a hundred times. So go ahead and argue and fight. Argue about bow hunting vs. gun hunting. Argue about Gratis Tags. Argue about landowners, habitat destruction, non residents, and any number of issues pertinent to the deer populations. It won't amount to a spit in the river and will in fact HELP the anti hunting community so have at it folks. The fact is that at this point, deer tag numbers are POLITICAL and totally controlled by the governors office and those who were APPOINTED by the governor. They are NOT based on any scientifically gathered survey information at all. So be my guest and argue over crap that won't increase tag numbers or hunter opportunities one bit. Enslow is correct. People continually focus on the wrong things when it comes to deer numbers. Carry On!!!! [/QUOTE]
