So the tag shifting is targeted to some or all of those units which were undersold this year? Was there discussion associated with the statement "expectations that will continue"?
BTW, thanks for posting all of these. Great information.

This would provide increased opportunity for kids to have a successful hunt so they can become addicted to hunting like all of us already are. :IBCOOL:

Or how about drop the price of a second deer permit. Make it the same price as the first deer permit. I GUARANTEE you drop tje price and more permits get sold. It is simple economics. If the supply is more than the demand drop the price. You can only increase the price once the demand outweighs tje supply. How can tje WDFW be that stupid. It actually amazes me. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad what they do to our hunting.
Colockum,
You know that NO government agency has every taken an economics course in its life! They can not even balance a checkbook! :bash:
The 2nd deer tag is onlyl $22 for kids, which is a fair price. I would propose that they simply make all the 2nd deer tags for youth only.
This would provide increased opportunity for kids to have a successful hunt so they can become addicted to hunting like all of us already are. :IBCOOL:
To a degree that is a great idea bobcat, however, I would go a step further. Make a YOUTH tag for the general season that is an either sex tag to begin with, anyone 15 and younger can participate. Or do like they do for Turkey season. Have a youth only weekend, and make it either sex, but only in units that could handle the harvest of does.

Yes but isn't the adult tag $65. Which is not a fair price.

Well, everyone's going to have a different opinion on whether it's fair or not. I do know the youth price of only $22 is fair and I hope they still have these 2nd deer tags available in a few more years when my kids are old enough to hunt.
Myself, I may apply for a 2nd deer tag next year and if drawn, I may not purchase it until the time comes to hunt, and then I will decide if I have the time to use it or not.
One thing's for sure, if a person only thinks of it as if they are purchasing deer meat for $66, it's probably not worth it. But if you think of it as a chance to go on one more hunt, when otherwise you would have to wait another year to deer hunt, then it seems it would be well worth it.
But it's all a matter of having the time and money to go one a doe hunt, without having to sacrifice your other planned hunts. If i was retired I would do it, no questions asked.
