How would that make deer hunting any good on SGL or SF then in those WMUs that have posted land and give out that many tags?
Actually I didn't say that. I said it takes more tags to generate a harvested deer in 2B where access is limited. In 2B, access is tough for many and the huge tag allocation compensates for that by allowing those who can get that access to harvest more deer. The abundance of tags does adversely affect some public areas but those are very few in 2B which was the WMU you asked about. Getting access isn't easy but it's there for those who make the effort. By effort, I mean a year round effort. I have some very good property to hunt but I jump through plenty of hoops to get and keep it and I've no sympathy for the guy who doesn't
plan ahead and make the effort to get the access if they don't have their own property or where public land isnt available.
The guy who cant be bothered to think about where he's going to hunt till the weekend before the season deserves what he gets.
