[QUOTE="You, post: 196337, member: 514"] regarding the deer population (or lackthereof) the answer IS habit and a good run of weather. a solution does not exist in changing tag allocations and/or how the LOTTERY is ran. i belive the food/forage to be adequate in most parts of the state. now, how can the g&f promote long term habitat creation in each and every unit? I don't know, but if it were my job or full time responsibility to look out for herd health I'd definatelly have some decent ideas by now. I know a lot if not most of their funding comes from license fees. the deer LOTTERY has to be one of the biggest sources of revenue for them (maybe the biggest?) it's in their interest to have a larger herd. they need to work towards that. they need more money to promote long term habitat creation. external funding sources/ideas need to be hatched but some must come from within by way of fat trimming. I'm sure there are oodles of fat-trim options but the few 'no-brainers' I'm aware of are: 1. paying even one red cent to enroll an acre of featureless, coverless land into the plots program is stupid 2. maintaining and managing a sustainable deer-decimating population of mountain lions and all the unnecessary studying/collaring/tracking/man hours bs that goes along with it, just so the same few groups of houndsman can take their 5th, 6th, and 7th nd lion is stupid in more ways than one. 3. bighorn sheep. give it up already HOLY HELL. like most i do hope to draw one but our 'hope' has never been worth the price of admission. so so stupid. 4. promotional agency. I don't entirely know what this means but i know the g&f is considered one. to me it should mean the hunters ed program, kids fishing ponds and rods/tackle, the occasional school function, public input meetings, or the occasional media clip or radio session. it should not mean a massive presence at the state fair and all the man hours, hotel rooms, and per diem that I assume goes with (overtime too?). and it sure as heck shouldn't mean paying for embroidered vests, tshirts, pullovers, and hiking boots for every licensing clerk, accountant, and administrator in the Bismarck office. even the biologists, people in fisheries, and others that go afield from time to time. I'd give them boots and a removable badge/nametag. that'd be the extent of their 'uniforms' and uniform budget. (wardens excluded. uniform the crap out of them) [/QUOTE]
