the ones not fallowing the law now wont fallow a tagging system either . there will be ways around it .

it comes to just how hard you wanna make on ever body to hunt or how much you wanna make it cost ?????

of course the state will have to come up with a way to cover the cost of a tagging system .


Easy. Just add a tagging privilege.

and price it at $50/tag. i mean they trying to make it a rich man sport anyway right smile
If you want to raise some revenue and hit more wealthy hunters add a hunting lease tax, say $1 per acre, a shooting house registration - $50/year/shooting house, and a green field privilege - $2/year/acre. Now you're taxing wealthy hunters.

For example in a place with tag restrictions they may give out 1 rifle tag (either sex), a bow tag (either sex), then a bow/muzz tag (either sex). If you want more does, you can buy the permits for like 10 bucks, but they are zone restricted to areas with high doe population. So for example you could buy an extra doe tag for Lauderdale county if the state says more does need to be killed there, but you couldn't use that tag in Madison county. You can end up killing a lot of does if you want to but they have to be from areas with high doe population.

Of course some guy with a corn pile can crossbow deer in his backyard year round, but that's always been the case and there's nothing you can do to stop it other than reporting them if you hear/know about it.
