[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 941537, member: 33822"] It looks to me like we are more or less saying the same thing, but looking at it from different perspectives. I think we all agree that at least for some duration of time the middle range hunts will be harder to get. But the way I look at all of this, is that a banking system is more fair all around. It would be a shame if some of the guys who've banked for 20+ years had to use all those points on a hunt that required half those points but used up all their points. The banking system gives those guys something for all the years they saved points but never got to use them on a premier hunt, and then in turn, will open up those premier hunts down the road. Another way to look at it.... if you were saving up for the past 20 years for a brand new Ford F350 King Ranch Super Duty Diesel, lift kit, mud tires, leather, every bell and whistle , but every year they just got a little more expensive and out of your price range, would it be fare if you finally settled on a Ford F-150 but still had to pay $90,000??? No matter how you slice this pie, there is always going to be more guys that want to hunt any of the good units than there are tags available. I listened in on a DOW town hall meeting, and everybody there, including hunters, were all for a banking system. This is the DOW's best attempt to help fix a very challenging situation, they really are trying their best here. It may not be ideal, but it certainly is more fair with banking. [/QUOTE]
