Default RE: IDNR changing state of deer hunting.

You can't blame someone for wanting the chance at a big buck, but they have to realize that this resourse is limited and must be managed. This idea of let me have what you have doesn't hold any weight. We all know if they were living in a hot spot and started losing their hunting area to out of state hunters, they would be getting upset about it too. I'm sorry but life isn't fair, some states have big bucks and some don't, that is just the way it is.
People with money are trying to shift the balance in their favor, so they can look at residents and say the same thing (a little bit different tho). I'm sorry but life isn't fair, some people have money and some don't, and we get to make the rules, that is just the way it is.
This is just like 2 kids on a playground, 1 has a pack of bubblegum and the other one doesn't. The kid without runs to the teacher and forces the 1 with the gum to share until he runs out.
There has to be limits. I am not old enough to remember the lack of deer 30 years ago but somebody realized the need for limits, and that is why things are good know.
This issue will never be settled, because the lucky few are always going to get crapped on by the pushy wealthy few.
I also think that it should be a lottery with an equal chance for all NR's, and the outfitters should not get any garranties.
If they remove the cap on NR's tags ,I wouldn't doubt that they start limiting us to 1 buck, so that they can start selling chances at one to whoever can afford it.

Just my opinion, everyone is entitled to one, right or wrong.
