Message: <blockquote data-quote="arrowdem" data-source="post: 83365" data-attributes="member: 352">I sincerely doubt you will ever get private land opened up to non land owners to hunt and rightfully so. I'm not gonna let someone just take my pick up whenever they need or crash on my couch at my house cause they don't want to get a hotel. That just doesn't make sense. And landowner tags.... KDM hit the nail on that one. If I had the 160 acres to put in for a gratis tag. Damn right I would. Who wouldn't? I am however fortunate enough that my brother married into 160 acres of prime river bottom ground and his wife gets a gratis tag every year. Does she fill it every year? No. She and the rest of us want her to get on a mature buck as we try practice QDM. ya not getting a tag for years in a row sucks but I don't complain about it. Instead I try my luck at different opportunities. If you read my thread about being sick of not getting drawn. Last year got turned down for a 2C buck tag so I went to an area that had extra doe tags. Loaded up a few buddies ended up getting on some private land from a very giving land owner. Shot our does shot some grouse shot some roosters and drank some beer and its a hunt I'll always have fond memories of. Now for this year seeing what my chances are again I'm looking to try my luck at a public land mule deer hunt. Will I be successful. Damn right I will be doesn't mean I'll kill anything but I'll be out in new country trying my hardest to with a couple of good friends. One thing I can't understand is when I guy like me wants to venture out of my home area to and unit that had tags and am looking for advice on what kind of public land is out there and if it's good ground to hold deer you are met with such resistance? (The thread I have started has been very helpful with no negative Nancy's so far so thank you guys for that) the point I'm trying to get across is there are opportunities out there in ND to go out and kill a deer. No your chances of getting on an amazing chunk of land like the private land owners has isn't always going to happen. But the opportunity to get a tag and at least have a chance is there for the most part. I do think that NDGF does have a lot of things that they can work on like getting the actual numbers on the herd correct and actually trying to get a count. But I'm not the guy like KDM who actually voiced his concerns so I don't really have a right to complain about it either.anyway that's my .02 and now it's past my bed time and in going to fall asleep watching the Drury's hammer giant whitetails on land I can only hope one day I have an opportunity to hunt.</blockquote>
