CPW is asking folks to complete a survey about tag allocations and draw systems. Encourage everyone to make there voices heard and volunteer to be a panel/attended public meeting.
While thinking about this I looked at some draw recaps for last year. I come across some interesting numbers.
Private landowners in unit 201 got 18% of the early rifle tags for elk allocated. Only 3.4% of the unit is private land. Same goes for unit 2 early rifle elk tags with 8% of the unit is private land.
Does not seem like a fair allocation of the resource. Landowners get points to draw the tags but it took them only four points to draw a tag. While it takes a public hunter 28-30 points.
I would be ok with the private landowners getting their 20% allocation if the unit has 20% private lands.
Just something to think about.
