I definitely agree that tag numbers need to be cut, statewide. I am, and always will be, a Southern region hunter, but we have way too many hunters for the number of deer here as well. One way to help the Northern unit, and the other that doesn't automatically "draw out" is to not sell over the counter tags, archery or undersubscribed. Most hunters that live in the northern part of the state, which is the extreme majority of hunters in the state period, use the northern region as a last chance. Most of them, that is. If they wouldn't allow undersubscribed tags to be sold, this would do two things. It would increase the chance for people to draw a southern tag, and I also increase the number of tags given in the northern unit in the regular draw, however, I don't think the northern unit would "draw out". Overall, there are way too many tags statewide for the deer herd we have at this time. Just my opinion.
