It's so true, numbers are down, but, I'll be 69 this year and been putting in since the draw started, thought it was great idea back when it started but kinda wonder now. I'm in good shape today but have seen many many friends and hunters have to give it up because they can't get around anymore or just aren't around to try. The draw is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! Just take the time to count the special permit applications for deer and times that by the the fee(which has gone up a few times), anyway, if I get the chance I'll shot the biggest one I can find.
I won't shoot them all, just one.
