[QUOTE="Lou63, post: 227361, member: 207"] I have one change to the system, gratis tags were put in for the landowner/farmer to reward/offset losses of crops etc. when the vast majority of the landowners still farmed. now a lot of gratis tags go to people no longer involved with agriculture and live hundreds of miles away from the land and have nothing to do with the day to day operations. if a landowner is one of those that are not actively involved with the property (farming or managing it for wildlife, food plots etc) and just get a check from a renter, go out the week or two before deer season to put up their posted signs and scout deer from a seat at the local bar then come back shoot a deer then not return until the next year to replace their posted signs then maybe they should not be eligible for a gratis tag. If the state wants an accurate count of the harvest then they could do as other states do and have check in stations set up where a hunter HAS to have their deer checked by Game and Fish. This could help with some of the poaching issues preseason and post season that occur as well. [/QUOTE]
