Mule deer, or Whitetail, or blacktail. I would agree with this ideaOr choose species or east or west.But species would be best.This would suck big time unless they offered one of each tag. I want a blacktail and a whitetail tag.You’re saying you want the opportunity to buy two OTC tags? Absolutely. If they want to separate the tag into 3 species. I hunt whitetail or blacktail depending on early or late.To restrict tags is not the answer here. There is an answer and we know what that is. Letting a deer walk won't bring the numbers back it only increases predators survival. 30 years ago it was common to seen 80-100 blacktail a day during the season. Ten years after the ban on hounds and baiting two a day was the norm and seeing a cougar or bear while deer hunting became somewhat common. If no one was to buy a deer tags from here on out it wouldn't bring the numbers back. My last years whitetail cameras had 4 different deer and 11 different predators on it. gmu 101You kill any of those predators? And I assume you're killing two deer a year right now since you're demanding two tags in this hypothetical situation.Yes I do try to kill predators.You are only allowed one deer regardless of what you hunt at the time. There is no guarantee that you will harvest one.This is why Breaking the tag choice up makes No sense.

Choose a species for deer tag. Mule deer, or Whitetail, or blacktail.
If they want to keep everything General we need toEliminating multi season Pick Mule Deer, whitetail, blacktailPick only one weapon Pick only one season (early or late not both)Pick one unitThis will upset some. But you can see what doing nothing is doing Or make everything draw for any weapon We have to get pressure off the herds or it will continue to decline
Over the years there have been several threads similar to this brought up, the overwhelming majority agreeing that the numbers are declining, the hunting is going to hell and people looking for solutions, including limiting hunting.....and then there are those that want to to look the genius and chime in with the obvious....."nothing will change until we address the predators." If you are one of those geniuses, how about you come up with a solution to share, rather than simply spewing the obvious! Most are willing to discuss options, but not you. You hold steadfast in your belief that predator control must be first, yet you fail to mention how to get past the voters that have tied our hands. Lets here your solutions all you predator issue experts....and let's have realistic solutions please, WDFW trapping and relocating is NOT realistic. And longtrails, this is not in response to your post.
