[QUOTE="NDSportsman, post: 180280, member: 444"] I think the GNF practice of determining tags based on success percentage is a little flawed. Just because the success rate drops below 70% doesn't necessarily mean there were fewer deer, lots of things factor into success rates, weather, how many days a person actually hunts, standing crops, picky hunters, etc. They really do need to figure out a way to determine the actual deer population every year and stop going by success %. Another thing I would like them to do is allow people to purchase a preference point rather then actually having to apply for a tag. That would remove quite a few applicants out of the harder to draw units each year as they would more then likely just purchase a point until they feel they had enough to draw the tag. [/QUOTE]
