[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 194236, member: 3373"] Had my first deer tag back in the 60's. No such thing as being unsuccessful in the lottery, there was no lottery. Buy a license over the counter. However, there weren't 90,000 people buying a license and there weren't anywhere near the deer we have, even today. There was no legal party hunting then but it was very common. If someone saw a deer they shot it, or at least at it. A trophy buck was one big enough to put your tag around the antler. The article makes it sound like a youth gets a tag for 5 years in a row. Not true the youth doe only tags, for 12-13 year olds are available for 2 years. the youth tag (14-15) is a one time tag I believe. Even so, there aren't that many youth over-running the country side with a tag in their pocket. I'm old enough that I can live without a tag if a young person gets to shoot a deer instead of me. I don't have a solution other than with more habitat we would have more deer and upland game. I know coyotes eat a lot of deer What I don't know is actually how many. I suspect the coyotes are eating way more deer than anyone knows. Unfortunately, hunting them is fun but nearly useless in controlling the population. For those of you who are pretty successful killing coyotes, how many do you have to kill in an area before you really notice a reduction in the population? [/QUOTE]
