What are my thoughts on this tag? I don't like it. I always liked first rifle for elk because of lower hunter pressure due to no deer hunters. I hope they don't continue to expand the GMU's that offer a first rifle deer hunt. Regarding your question about where will the deer be, it will be...

Commissioner Tutchton is either very naive or being very deceptive about why the ballot initiative to ban...
