Second deer tag???

[doyourtime89]

This 2nd tag BS came out last year. Didnt participate in that charade and wont.

It's been longer than that because I've drawn a 2nd deer tag two years in a row now. 

i think he's talking about the $22 to $66 price hike      glad i got drawn 2 years ago! 

I was looking at the prices today and at least they left the youth at $22...I will still put my son in for it

I might as well put in.  extra steaks and another 60 on top of my 285 it wants for combo and multi isn't that much.

More meat.. Mmmmmm

[h2ofowlr]

To much.  I'm out.

 One less permit app I need to buy now...

I'm not applying for second deer (doe only) Decatur Island any more.  I'll be damned if I pay that much for 20 pounds of meat!  Weathergirl will not be either, she usually applied for the second tag but never used it.  Previous to last year, you could at least try for a second buck with a little more meat on its bones.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

After looking at the regs and sd permits.....  I say probably not.  Just put that 60 towards idaho!!!!!

$68 plus another $8.60 for the application.  Ouch.

   no thanks !

I too am out.
I've had a 2nd tag 2 years in a row but I'm all done at that price.

Very steep prices. Sure would like a branch bull so I could complete my WA hunting. As long as I am putting in on a pile of branch points, I may as well put in on my pile of  quality buck points as well. Then I am focasing on Idaho and Oregon!

Well I gues I can look at all this outrageous increase one only one positive which is also a negitive, all these raised rates are going to push more people to poach, and if I can catch them I get more points.... ?

How is it going to push people to poach? If someone wants to hunt deer they can still do so for about $45. If you can afford gas to drive to your hunting area, you should be able to afford $45 for a tag. If people don't have the money they don't have to apply for any special hunts. If you just want to hunt, you can buy a small game license and hunt grouse and coyotes. That's about, what, $38?

The people that are going to poach are the ones who would poach anyway, regardless of the price of a deer tag.
