Message: <blockquote data-quote="Davy Crockett" data-source="post: 227634" data-attributes="member: 367">I totally agree as per Dakota Country article.  <a href="http://dakotacountrymagazine.com/news/one-tag-only/" target="_blank">http://dakotacountrymagazine.com/news/one-tag-only/</a>- - - Updated - - -So what happened to Steinwand’s “One Tag Only” proposal? It disappeared. Steinwand got run over by the North Dakota Bowhunters Association. Unhappy bowhunters won a political argument. Bowhunters are great sportsmen, but too many of them are also selfish. Bow-hunting is not a sport for the timid. It’s hard work, but also, when successful, incredibly stimulating. Problem is, it often does not result in taking a deer. And so, to have the best of both worlds, a lot of bowhunters want the option of being able to shoot a deer with their rifle at the end of the season to guarantee they’ll have some venison in their freezer.So how’d they do it? Well, they showed up, and victory often goes to those who just show up. They showed up at Game and Fish Advisory Board meetings last winter, like the one I attended here in Bismarck, where Steinwand argued pretty hard in favor of his “One Tag Only” proposal, saying bowhunters have not had their opportunity to bowhunt reduced the way gun hunters have. I left that meeting convinced that Steinwand really believed that “One Tag” was the way to go until the deer herd recovers from its current problems, in spite of how noisy the bowhunters were at the meeting.</blockquote>
