Guys,
I would like to see buck tags but I doubt they will come. Just to much headache and expense unless they go up on the price of the license.
No need to go up on the license cost, just require every hunter to buy a license.
We have 10 times more hunters, than license sales indicate, because there's no incentive to buy a license.
You can go for decades without having to show anybody your hunting license.
The solution is so simple my bird dog could do the math.
1) Implement a tag system, whereby the tags are acquired with your license, sequentially numbered and issued to the individual.
2) Impose heavy fines for transporting an untagged animal and conduct random inspections at local processors, coffee shops, gas stations and honky tonks. (most of the GW's visit these establishments regular, anyway)
3) Require the filled tags to be logged in by using the EXISTING internet survey site, or the EXISTING tele-check and the EXISTING local retail stores.
Unused tags would simply expire with your license.
The increased license sales would more than pay for the tags, and the Game Wardens would actually have SOMETHING to enforce.
