Completed it quickly, comments were:
1. Need expanded predator seasons, bobcat absolutely and bear ideally soon.
2. Eliminate replacement tags in Zone 11 and 12
3. Reduce archery tags as needed in other DMZ's from 4 to 2
4. Antler restrictions (3 points or better per side)
I also voted to keep landowner (>10 acres) and over 65 licenses free. Landowners with more than 10 acres are already paying the state plenty in real estate taxes and the people 65 and over have paid enough in my opinion.
I also suggested that they should reduce the number of Shotgun A tags in units that are undersubscribed for B. Spread out the pressure more evenly so that maybe.... JUUUUUST maybe the B season & ML might not Completely Suck. Choice of a B-season tag or a preference point for next year.
