doc you are correct and I make no bones about it..I'm bitter that the PGC has refused to make a sincere effort to cut back anterless tags in areas where the deer herd has been reduced past their goals in herd reduction. IMHO they are relying on those anterless fees to operate in lieu of a price hike that they were rebuffed on again.
I may point out that the 2nd spring turkey tag for Res. hunters is $21..of that $21 no% is ear marked soley for turkey habitat,management. This comes from the PGC website posted by the PGC thgemselves....all it refers to how it will be used is possibly.
SO that explains why you intentionally shoot 5 button bucks on public land, it's because your mad there are too many tags and you figure if you kill all the deer yourself, they'll wake up. Yeah, that makes sense. [:'(]
