Bowhunter,you also have to realize that more land aquizitions are not going to be more frequent,even with an increase.The PGC is only allowed to spend $400 an acres and that type of land is getting hard to come by.I believe it would take an act of legislation to get that changed.

Cardeer,$20 doe tags is something I'd support but then people would be screaming it's all about money.This has been considered before.

Mauser,the PGC cannot cave into the wishes of the hunters who want more deer than the land can support.That's what happened over the past 70 years and that's why the forests are in the poor condition they are.We simply had way too many deer for way too long and it will take a long time with much lower deer numbers to fix the problem.I live and hunt in 2G where much of the complaining is taking place.I see the poor shape of the forest from years of overbrowsing and I'm seeing signs of recovery now that the herd has been reduced.Even with a much smaller herd,I'm having no problems finding and killing deer on public land.Where the habitat is poor,there's few deer in these parts.Where the habitat is staring to recover,there's plenty.Now isn't the time to change ditrections and start increasing the herd too fast.Any progress made with the habitat will be lost and we'll be looking at another population crash when we have the next severe winter.

Less deer is abitter pill for many to swallow but unfortunately,it's themedicine we need right now.
