[ul][*]When your state leads the nation each year in producing P&Y quality bucks .... You still b!tch and moan, and vow to hunt deer in other states at 20x the cost. [*][*]When the state offers $2(at cost)antlerless deer tags(4 per day), you still complain they cost too much.Your first antlerless tag was free with license purchase.[/ul]
