Cruiser, you hit the million dollar jackpot. I believe you are correct, it's all about the money. Otherwise, I can see no reason why archers should not be able to hunt both on their original license to help with the admitted problem of overpopulation of does. THEN if they want more, go buy the additional available tags. Too simple.

As stated before, as a NR I have no problem with the PGC jacking up the cost of my original license to whatever the "greed need" warrants, provided that I know I can harvest either sex on my tag. This way there is no "jumping through hoops" or waiting until all doe tags are gone before being allowed to apply for one, or having to pass up immeasureable numbers of does while in stand, and wait until a 6pt comes by. Seems ridiculous to me. If you want to SAVE your bucks, and get rid of the does, WHY aren't you letting us TAKE a doe rather than FORCING us to shoot a buck? That 6 pt that I'm holding out for will be a nice 8pt next year if I take a doe home instead! Think about it. The whole thing doesn't make sense. And usually, like most things connected by greed and money, it won't get better anytime soon unless ALOT of people gripe about it.
I really don't feel we all have to be "jumping through every hoop", and looking at the calendar for the "day that I can apply, gotta mail it out THIS day so it get's there THAT day". I hunt other States and provinces as a resident and Non with very good systems in place, and this just seems all so unnecessary. Just my own thoughts, Pinwheel 12
