[QUOTE="bscman, post: 2834993, member: 126797"] If game departments issue tags with the assumption "the tag WILL be filled" you will be SEVERELY limiting the number of tags sold. That idea would completely eliminate over the counter hunts, or would force a DRASTIC reduction in season length. Every game department for the last 100 years has used weapon type and season length (and season timing) in order to control success rates. It has always been a balance of allowing as much participation as an area can handle, while also not over harvesting animals in the same area. Limiting the tags sold has other unintended consequences. Goodbye game law enforcement dollars, goodbye tourist revenue for rural towns, etc. The simply fact is available habitat is shrinking. Hunting methods, tools, and technologies are improving. I'd very much rather hunt with a handicapped muzzle loader for my normal 8 day early season and three week long late season EVERY YEAR than be told I can use a 400yd fancy scoped muzzlenloder once every four years when And if I'm lucky enough to draw a tag.
