[QUOTE="buckhunter24_7, post: 180269, member: 690"] I've said this for a few years now that the game and fish need to do deer survey's every single year not just when there is snow on the ground. On the years when there is no snow compare the numbers to other years of no snow. I just hear on the radio today that they have just completed a duck brood survey, they do crow counts for pheasants, and count grouse every single year yet they rarely get a deer count in and deer are the most desirable species's to hunt I think. There is no reason the game wardens can't do a count every time they go out from December- March. The reason for this is so that they don't give out 110,000 tags when there should be 45,000 tags like what happened a few years back. I think we are still trying to recover from that one year. As for the gratis tags just limit them to a percentage of the available tags in that unit. 75% or even 50% idk what would be a good number. But 2,000 tags in a unit at 50% max gratis would give each group 1000 tags. I think we need to change something with the gratis tags if this is the new norm for deer tags or it will be all pay hunting in this state within 10 years with everyone getting gratis tags (leasing hunting rights).
