I really think we need to look at the bigger picture here.

Anti's want us divided; tribal vs non tribal, bow vs rifle, this vs that.  They don't care the dividing line, they know we are easier to defeat that way.   While dividing East/West might seem small we don't have margins to give.

If some real data/models showing it really has a high likelihood of solving specific problems I will change my mind, but until such is presented I vote we keep the band together.
agree, you can see the division already happening in this thread when it comes to west v’s east.  That’s why I hate this idea.

So we can continue to disagree on this question but as long as it doesn't happen, we're not divided?
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I'm a blacktail hunter.   I'd appreciate it if everyone else would choose the east side. Please and thank you. ;)

There is more pressure due to the increase in people hiking than there ever will be with MS permits. Deer can't tell if a person has a weapon or not. The key to increasing the deer population is survivability of the doe population.


I'll play,  :}
Hikers don't kill deer.
Of course, deer don't know a person has a weapon, deer do not know what a weapon is. :chuckle: (or so us stupid humans believe)
If you kill all the bucks, will does become asexual?....increasing the pop. on their own.
if you want to INCREASE population, you need to decrease the current rate of deaths, by any, and all means, humans, predators, etc.

Give up almost 1.2 million in revenue  :chuckle: mark my words if they go east/west the demand for multi season tags will skyrocket and they will increase them for the revenue!
Shut up and Hunt!

Why not just go to draw only for Mule Deer. It will eventually have to happen anyway. That way the West siders can  still hunt both sides. East/West for Deer is futile. There are not enough animals to hunt OTC and have healthy herds.

This would be unfortunate... I love the flexibility of the deer tag.
