If the incentives are available to anyone willing to earn them, I'm in favor.

I think the incentive tags are bonus and in theory anyone should be eligible if you just follow the rules of reporting on time.
The hunter ed incentive tags are different as only hunter ed guys can apply if they meet the requirements. Technically anybody could become a hunter ed instructor so it is still open to anyone that wants to put in the effort.
I think incentive permits are a good idea and I think they should keep them.
I assume because you have asked the question you have some thoughts on this. What is the reason that you are asking the question?

I must be missing something? Why would anybody want to eliminate this?:yeah:, if you vote yes to eliminate, please explain why? Not a rub here, just curious.

Okay, made the move now for some discussion.

I have another thread that was being derailed. That thread is about whether the auction tags, like the Governor's tag, should be eliminated. A couple of posters insisted on making it the same issue as for the incentive tags, which it's not. So I started this thread. I believe in keeping the incentive tags as they're open to all. If you become an instructor, master hunter, or put your reports in early, you can draw a tag. No one is too poor or unqualified to participate.

It's interesting that none of the "yes" votes have explained their reasoning for wanting them gone. :dunno::yeah: maybe they don't have a good reason and just like to go against the grain?

So like I said I think they are a good thing.
T says they are a resource multiplier and that is true.
Another that hasn't been mentioned is that each year seasons are adjusted and tweaked just a little. I assume that is based on a lot of data including harvest reports. They need those reports in a timely manner so they can react to how many animals are being taken or not taken.

I don't report unless I'm unsuccessful or it's mandatory. Last thing you want is a bunch of people looking at harvest reports saying this looks like a good place to hunt.Reporting a harvest can increase hunting opportunities.
