PineCountryHunter Report post Posted March 27 looks like drawing a 3A/3c deer tag just got a lot tougher...reducing archery to 40 tags and early rifle to 80 tags. Going to take a few more years to draw with point creep 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether there or there isn’t, a significant amount of the 950 will not be tagging out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing new if you have lived here and hunted for a decade or so. This topic does come up from time to time though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted March 29 Am I missing something? Looks like they are proposing an overall drop in number of permits. Some units increased by a few and some decreased by a few, but overall a drop of 875 total. (24B as an example looks like it has same number of permits as last year, I think?) Not saying that some units have what appear to be an overload of permits authorized but seems like it's been that way for quite a while. Ever since they made the 'opportunity' push several years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted March 29 Nice thing about 24b, pick a spot and get about 300 yards off the road, you’ll be all alone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
