In my family we only get one tag beings dad doesn't hunt and would rather let me take it. We also have plenty of land but I do not apply for all of it, instead I leave some areas to bow hunting and a couple youth hunters. My buddy that has been bow hunting thought I was crazy for this beings I am loosing chances to hunt other areas but to me it is nice to leave some. Also with a gratis we are limited to just what we write down so we do not get to hunt a whole unit, I am sure there are people that cheat and break the rules but I for one do not. If someone knows of hunters breaking the rule why don't you turn them in? One thing about the gratis system I wouldn't mind seeing change is that we should pay the application fee just like everyone else.As for number of tags per person I have only hunted with my gratis and not purchased a bow tag for the last 3 years or so and prior to that I have only harvested 2 deer in the last 8 with bow along with a deer each year with rifle. A one tag system won't bother me right now but don't feel it is the answer either. Habitat and predator control can go a long ways too. If you want to have more bucks available what about size limits so the young spikes and forks can grow instead of saying its got horns so kill it.</blockquote>
