Message: <blockquote data-quote="eyexer" data-source="post: 67891" data-attributes="member: 315">I've been thinking about herd management for the past few months due to not seeing many deer.  The best way to provide numbers for kill rates is register deer taken with registration stations.  A pile of people are against this.  I have thought of a perfect way to do this that will be zero inconvenience to anyone.  At the end of the season if you don't kill a deer you are required to send in your unused tag.  The game and fish will then count these tags and assume that the tags that were not sent in were put on deer.  Then they can adjust their tag limits for next season based on that.  So if people say screw it and don't send it in they will be reducing the number of tags available for next year whether they killed a deer or not.  This would also give a clear number of successful bow tags.  And if there are too many deer taken via bow they will be forced to change the existing bow tag numbers or go to a one deer system or whatever they deem necessary.  After three or four years of doing this things will meld into place quite nicely.  And nobody can bitch about having to send in an unused tag it takes two minutes. And the G & F could give hunters till the end of Jan or so to do this.  It would force honesty in the system because by not complying your basically shooting yourself in the nuts in the long run.  No system would be perfect but I think this one would be damn close.  Probably as close as one could get. And it would cost the G&F nothing but an envelope which they would send out with the tag, postage paid.  Just like the fifteen or twenty pheasant wing/leg envelopes I sent in this year.   I would also like to see published names of all those that are successful in the deer gun lottery each year and what zone they drew in.  In fact, in this age of computers I'd like to see the lottery be done in public so all can see.  The distrust of the G&F is growing larger each year and I think if something isn't done it's going to get out of hand.  I think total transparency in everything they do would be a very good thing to reassure everybody there isn't favoritism being applied.  Also make public all the gratis tags too.  Make everything public.  Maybe a lot of this is already made available but I have never seen or heard of it.- - - Updated - - -I've thought about raising some mink but there's just no money in it.  I think money trees is where it's at now.</blockquote>
