What is driving the leasing epidemic? Greed, supply and demand, and the market created by the commercial lobby. Because of their lobbying efforts and inflated claims, the special seasons came about. When they didn' t get the tags they wanted, they gathered more help using the insurance and farm lobby who would also benefit from more a less restricted season. Whether you want to believe it or not, by starting with doe harvest instead of the much desired NR Buck tags, it told me KDWP knew what would happen if those tags were liberalized. Pressure from the legislature resulted in the T-tags. This bill was submitted by a lame duck Senator who is now back in the private sector profitting off the tags. This session, with Senators enjoying the profits from T-tag sales, they were determined to continue making deer the latest Kansas crop and tourist attraction. We do need to come together as outdoorsmen/women to fight to retain the deer resource, we don' t have much longer before we get to experience what the hunters of the early 60-70' s had to choose from. Don' t make yourself look like the cow reaching over and thru the fence to eat grass that is the same grass on it' s side. Make the most of what you are allowed to enjoy, instead of what the other group has.
