[QUOTE="KDM, post: 83413, member: 314"] I don't think he is blaming the G&F, but I AM for not making the most popular big game animal on the North American Continent and in North Dakota a bigger priority for sound scientific management. The landowners have very little to do with determining tag numbers so why is it so common to pound on THEM when people don't get a deer tag?? Pound on the people that SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU why you didn't get a tag. It would be so simple to post the survey data from each unit from each year on their webpage and stop all the bickering between interested parties from all sides of this issue. NUMBERS DON"T LIE!!!! Habitat Destruction, Bad Winters, EHD Outbreaks, Hunting, and every other factor impacting white tail deer numbers would be measurable and thus predictable. Low numbers of deer equal low tags and vice versa. If deer numbers were so low in my unit that only the landowners will get tags and the G&F could show me the data supporting that fact, I would fully support suspending the deer hunting seasons in my unit. ALL HUNTING SEASONS. I'm beginning to think the G&F is purposely NOT trying to find out how many deer there are in each unit as then the politics of tag numbers would be eliminated and the infighting between factions could be moderated. Look what's going on right here on NDA. We are bickering among ourselves and the anti's must be giggling with glee. Properly and politely place frustration and displeasure upon those that can affect a change IMO is a better plan. In this case, the NDGF. Punching the cab driver because you got thrown out of a bar will probably NOT get you safely home. [/QUOTE]
