[QUOTE="dust in the wind, post: 227530, member: 215"] If you look at the stats provided on the lottery, it's pretty clear that the vast majority of hunters want a buck tag. Since I had the 2016 numbers earlier, here's that piece of info 63,379 applicants applied for buck licenses as their first choice; 19,818 buck licenses were available in the drawing after 12,684 gratis and 485 nonresident licenses were withheld. I admit I want a buck tag too but I also put doe as a second choice. In the years that I didn't get a tag, I certainly could have applied for a left over doe tag but I didn't and that was my decision and I'm not complaining about it. The reasoning behind that - dad was fortunate to get a doe tag in a couple of those years - it was more important for me to be there with him. Could I have made it work if I had gotten one of those tags - probably, but I decided to let someone else have that opportunity. Some only want a buck and some don't care, they just want a tag. There's nothing that anyone can say, do or argue about that will change it. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] In My Opinion - even if the system goes to a 1 tag system (whatever it may end up being), it will not improve anyone's odds of getting their buck tag more often significantly.
