1 out of 6

Me, Jonathan and my other son Stan applied for (1st & second choice) deer and elk tags. So out of a possible 12 chances in an area that never even had to use points to get an elk or deer tag, we got (1) doe tag. This is for muzzleloader season.

Sounds like what's happening all over the western states. The ND muzzleloader tag was about a 6 year draw for many years. Now it takes 13-15 bonus points. In 2008 I purchased a antelope license in SD over the counter/left over non resident. $286 I believe. This was for 2 doe 1 buck. Found a group of antelope, drove to the nearest farm and asked to hunt. The fine gentleman moving bales said "go right ahead, although you can't shoot just one" I said, luckily I have three tags with a smile. Two hours later I was in the yard with my two does and a B&C antelope buck!! Now it takes 6-7 points to draw a single goat tags in that area.

You know, the libs will do anything, along with the government, to not only take guns, but also to eliminate hunting. There war cry is that hunter are driving animals to extinction. Fact is if liberals get there way and eliminate hunting, animals will over populate, inbreed, become smaller, prone to more disease, and become extinct! Liberals will cause extinction faster than nature. If you look at there own life styles and agendas, they will eliminate themselves the same way
