Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

[cgasner1]

No skin in the game, but my question has been, are these reductions an intent to reduce mule deer harvest overall, or provide more opportunities to residents.

If the goal is to reduce mule deer harvest, seems quite difficult to do with general resident licenses and a 5 week rifle season.

It’s for neither. The goal is 2500 less people on the landscape

Not me but I know the guy the nonresidents “hurt”.

I wonder if that’s the same guy that passed me several years ago (who was driving 70mph past me on a gravel road) in R7 and launched a rock into my new windshield.

Doubt it. But ya never know.

Some cattle haulers can take “If you’re not first, you’re last” to a whole new level. Glad he’s ok!

A big problem I see is that we know how many R's and NR' apply for and get tags, but our FWP has no idea how many animals are harvested. Some randomly located check stations open two days a week from 8-5ish are where they get the harvest numbers. Oh, and the phone survey that people lie on. That sub-sample of the overall harvest means nothing.

Always blows my mind, the difference in western vs Midwestern states harvest data collection.
