Message: <blockquote data-quote="Coyote Hunter" data-source="post: 180253" data-attributes="member: 486">All these ideas with one-tag systems and changing preference points wont make a difference if the population of deer stays where it is and the population of ND continues to rise.If you want real change, send a letter to NDGF to lower the doe license allocation.  I had that talk with Terry Steinwand a couple years back when the one-tag system was all but settled.  The NDGF had the perfect model in the Badlands.  They did not allow mule deer doe harvest and the population increased nearly 20% for 4-5 straight years.  If you want to draw tags more often, we need more deer.  Now the issue with the rest of ND (outside the badlands)... is there enough habitat to support that population?  Maybe not with the loss of CRP acres and loss of trees, etc.I wonder how many of the people bitching about not drawing a tag donated their tag cost for the PLOTS program and habitat enhancement... I think I know the answer to that...Somebody stated earlier that you if you apply for a Muzzy buck and a badlands muley tag then bitch when you don't draw, you should lose all your points...  lol.  I love that idea.  The majority of people bitching about not drawing a tag are applying for tags that they have a 1% chance of drawing.  No shit you didn't draw it...  If I apply in Wyoming for only blue chip elk and deer units, I am not going to draw a tag for a LONG time.  That is how supply and demand works.- - - Updated - - -People would bitch that they are still only drawing a tag once every 7 or 8 years... Still doesn't change the fact that there are too many people that want too few of tags.Wyoming has something similar to that. Theirs is a hybrid system though.  It took me 8 years to draw an elk tag in a good unit and I don't really have a chance to draw that tag again for 10+ years.  It is because demand is high...</blockquote>
