Raise those DMAP's too. We'll see how many guys are going to kill ten doe when they have to pay $300 to do it. Of course...just another pipe dream. I think we have a better chance of them handing out free unlimited doe tags than raising the fees. If they get a substanial fee increase on the general tag, I wouldn't be surprised. If they could make up the revenue on the backtag, I could easily see them lowering the cost of doe tags, or issue them free with the general license...or worse yet start up an earn a buck program in which your buck tag isn't validated until you've killed a doe. The last thing I could ever see them do is make it less appealing for hunters to shoot a doe. Goes against the agenda, imo.
good info.i have friend who works for DCNR. he used to get 6 or so DMAP tags.last year he complained,SPROUL THEY ARE NOW 10 DOLLARS . the kids sproul, think of kids we cant have this, KIDS, KIDS, KIDS, KIDS...................many use KID thing to find ways to kill more doe or as president of WCCSA said when we said its hard to get deer.he said, I FILL FREEZER EVERY YEAR AND HAVE NO TROUBLE DOING IT.what he does not tell you he hunts on PRIVATELAND and goes to ny state and hunts on privateland.he made comment,I SEE PLENTY OF DEER EVERYTIME I GO OUT.his own cousin said,HOW COULD YOU ,WHEN WAS LAST TIME YOU HUNTED ON SFL?
sorry i got off track on your comments.
i do believe doe tags /dmaps are way to low even if you have KIDS.i saw kid at store buy fudge that was 12 dollars for 10 pieces,i could not believe it.it was special fudge.his dad is one that buys all those tags.they get 6 doe at least every year.6 doe for 36 dollars.
trust me, they will still buy doe tags .only thing that could happen is ones that buy tag and dont use it may stop doing that or may shoot doe to pay for license.actually most i talk to could care less about a BUCK.they want MEAT...
