I do feel they have more of an impact on a low deer population.I guess that stands to reason.
Maybe the public lands need to be managed different from private lands since the public lands usually have more pressure.Give each SGL a certain amount of tags that can be used only on that SGL.Use guages such as deer numbers,habitat,hunting pressure,etc.
The problem with private land is some is still overpopulated because of access yet some is overharvested from hunting pressure.The areas overharvested could use some cutbacks also.Maybe instead of smaller WMU's specific tags could be used for specific areas.Just a thought
More specific tags sounds like a great idea. But how would we start? I could see seperating tags for public vs private land but cant help but wonder if it would become an administrative and law enforcement nightmare
