Let's face it, they carry plates now, so they could be reported much easier.
As for the no 2 point, so basically saying 4pt, I'm not going to repeat a long reason why I think that's a bad idea.
I hunt 4pt, not matter when I go, and so do many others.
The biggest issue is, if we go to 1 deer due to low mulie #'s, then fine, but is hunting causing the decline or wolves??
So, ask yourself, if wolves are the issue right now, then reducing bag limit won't bring back deer.
We as hunters have to do our part, which is be conservationists for the low deer #'s, so if they are low, yes, we can curb our part to help them come back, but who is going to deal with what is really causing the deer not to multiply right now, which is wolves and poor habitat.
I think mother nature is going to help habitat thru fires, but that still leaves the other issue.
No wolf culls due to public pressure, and because of that, are we also going to loose out opportunities due to public pressure.
We need some "assurances/legislation", that protects us from those that now want to determine our future and wildlife's based on emotion and public opinion.
