All I did was change the wording that led to who was doing the whining. How does putting the shoe on the other foot feel? I'm not even 100% in favor of a one tag system as I do understand that it would have virtually no effect on the success rate of drawing an antlered rifle deer tag. The only change would be the perception of fairness.I remember when the only rifle tag that was in a lottery was a mule deer tag. Whitetail tags were OTC, back in the 60's. Even mule deer tags were pretty easy to get as not many people were all that excited about hunting them. We didn't have any more deer then than now. What we didn't have were 90-100,000 applicants for the deer licenses. That and archery hunters were rare.I have nothing against party hunting if it were legalized. It's not for me and I used to hunt with a group that had no problems with party hunting, that is for some of them. We had people in the party that told every9one, "If you shoot a deer for me I'll tag it no problem." We also had others who were adamant in "I'll shoot my own deer." It worked for everyone as everyone honored each hunters rules. It wasn't legal then and still isn't but it's not uncommon. The one rule everyone followed was, "no one shoots a deer for a kid, they shoot their own." That was back when just about all hunting was with deer drives and posters. Now most people don't walk much, sitting in a stand is more common now. Someone on here was correct in the best solution for this problem is more habitat that would produce more deer. Is that possible? Only when CPR rates can compete with other commodity and rent prices.</blockquote>
