why does everybody always think that people against gov tags are against it because we are "jealous" of people with money????? I have the resources and time to hunt several states, and could use the services of guides if I so choose to. Heck, it is not beyond my means to maybe even get one of those gov tags.........personally, their is no "class warfare" with me. My point is that I believe most people, deep down, don't feel quite right about these tags. I think many people have been hoodwinked into believing it is OK because of "all the money it raises for wildlife", so they think, "well it is ok because of the money". Well, it isn't hard to do the math, a few dollars extra on all of the tags issued would raise the same amount of money. These tags are really about PR and the guiding community. My point is that the hunting community should think really hard about the PR these tags are generating..........my guess is that if the PETA people got ahold of it and decided to make an issue of it, it could look pretty ugly. Personally, I don't think the PETA people are our biggest threat. It really boils down to just too many animals being killed both by predators and humans. We (hunters) are the biggest threat to the resource. Too many people killing too many deer and too many predators killing too many deer. In addition, all of the focus and money generated by trophy mule deer has created a situation where many of the extraoridnary animals are being shot each year through poaching, chute planes, gov tags, and other slippery ehtics things. So, the really problem is staring at all of us in the mirror...........I am a die hard republican, but this is one area where if there aren't strict controls, the resource will slowly be depleted.
