So, regardless of what happens down there, you have history of what went wrong to look upon to prevent this from happening to you. Take it or leave it.

Yes it is easier to get tags. But most counties are 1 per person. Never heard of "snipers". Trust me, not many hunter participate. Opening day of our regular season sounded like Somalia in the movie Blackhawk Down...the meat locker had about 200 deer piled up. Opening day of late season I heard 5-6 shots and the meat locker had about 20-25 Doe.
I hear what your saying, but I dont think it will ever get to the point of it reducing our deer numbers enough for us to notice it.
