Message: <blockquote data-quote="dust in the wind" data-source="post: 195361" data-attributes="member: 215">Yep, it would add tags into the lottery - I overlooked that.  So lets run with that idea with your numbers.54000 tags105000 applicants51.5% of applicants getting a tag.64000 tags (10,000 more tags)95000 applicants (10,000 fewer applicants)67% applicants get tags - this sounds great on an overall basis.This still only amounts to approximately a .39% increase in odds avg in each unit.  This is still not a drastic improvement in odds in getting tag.  You might shave 1 year off of a 4 year wait.In response to your statement - you talk about hunting in a preferred rifle unit which you have stated as part of your argument but many have told gun hunters to apply in other units which you appear unwilling to do but have no problem with others having to make that choice --- and --- you seem to want to put more limits on gun hunters but are unwilling to limit bow hunters I have had others tell me to apply in other units as well  - even on the left over doe tags.  I thought about it but decided not to. It was my choice not to do that.  I'm also NOT complaining about not having a rifle tag!You are missing my point - if this were to go through, I would expect  rifle hunters to suggest some give on their part as well. After all,  the overall goal of this proposal was to provide more opportunity for rifle hunting for more people sooner. What better way than a little give from bow hunters and rifle hunters - right?as for this comment - the G&F proposal was set up to impact bow hunters the least by allowing them to purchase a tag after the drawing or use their rifle tag during bow seasonYep I know that and you know what - I may still apply in the rifle lottery just because, and take a chance that I get a rifle tag. I honestly haven't figured out what I would do if this ever came to be.  </blockquote>
