[QUOTE="CutEm, post: 227564, member: 6158"] If a change was made you wouldn't have any better chance of drawing a tag than you do now. A few thousand more tags spread across the state don't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. There are leftover tags after the second lottery if you really wanna hunt. I get wanting to have young kids get tags to keep them interested and old people because its their last hunts but if we did that nobody else would get tags. The real problem is all these damn guys that started getting their wives and daughters into hunting. That damn near doubled the lottery applicants. Thanks alot guys!! Just kidding, I think its awesome more women are getting involved. It helps promote the sport and makes it a full family affair. It takes that male dominated neanderthal sport rhetoric away from the liberals in California. The real key is habitat, habitat, habitat. You wanna see deer numbers rise? Plant a quarter of crp, don't break the back pasture up, leave that old tree row or farmstead. We will never see 100,000 tags again unless habitat becomes a priority. It won't however because of greed basically. I can make more money farmin through that old farmstead so f that habitat. I drew rifle and muzzle loader this year. I am also a bowhunter, so I have the potential to kill three bucks. I waited 7 years for my rifle and 11 for my muzzle loader. They happened to fall on the same year I can't do anything about that. I have not killed a buck since 2011 and that was with my bow. Am i greedy because I was lucky this year? No, I put my time in and this is the year. The reality is there is no change that would appease the masses. This is how it is and how it is going to be unless North Dakota as a state gets behind promoting habitat and that's not gonna happen. carry on. [/QUOTE]
